Best Fried Rice

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked Basmati rice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• ¼ large Vidalia onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 2 eggs
• ½ teaspoon sesame oil
• 3 tablespoon soy sauce
• Scallions

HOW TO MAKE FRIED RICE:

STEP ONE: Prepare your rice according to the package directions. Set aside.

STEP TWO: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium heat and add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to keep the garlic from burning. Add peas and carrots and cook until partially thawed, 1 to 2 minutes. You’ll need to adjust this time if you use fresh veggies.

PRO TIP: One of the secrets of delicious fried rice is a nice hot wok and plenty of oil

STEP THREE: Turn the heat up to medium-high and add cooked rice. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until rice is nice and hot and starts to brown.

STEP FOUR: Reduce heat and push the rice to the sides of the pan, making a hole in the center of the pan for the eggs. Crack eggs into the bottom of the pan.

 STEP FIVE: Scramble the eggs in the middle of the pan. Once eggs are cooked, stir the cooked egg into the rice.

STEP SIX: Mix soy sauce and sesame oil together and pour over rice. Stir until rice is evenly coated with sauce.

STEP SEVEN: To serve this fried rice, top with chopped green onions. You could even use cilantro and toasted sesame seeds as additional toppings
