Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Egg Fried Rice.
Step 1
Start by heating a wok or a large skillet over high heat, then add a teaspoon of canola oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, pour in your beaten eggs.
Step 3
Scramble them gently until they’re fully cooked, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 4
Once done, transfer the fluffy scrambled eggs to a plate and set them aside for now.
Step 5
Don’t forget to give your wok a quick clean before cranking up the heat again.
Step 6
Next, add a tablespoon of canola oil to the same wok, then toss in your chopped carrots along with a pinch of salt.
Step 7
Stir-fry these vibrant veggies for about 2 minutes, allowing them to soften just a bit.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Stir in the crushed garlic and keep cooking until it becomes fragrant and lightly browned, which should take another 2 minutes.
Step 9
Once the garlic is aromatic, mix in the frozen peas and minced scallions.
Step 10
Cook this colorful medley for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, just until the peas are warmed through.
Step 11
Now, lower the heat to medium and get ready to bring everything together.
Step 12
Add your chilled, cooked rice to the vegetable mixture, followed by the scrambled eggs you set aside earlier.
Step 13
Drizzle in some soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 14
Give everything a good stir, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 15
Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the rice is heated through and everything is perfectly blended.
Step 16
And there you have it—a delicious, homemade fried rice that’s not only quick to make but also packed with flavor! Enjoy your culinary creation!.
