Easy Fried Rice with Egg

Ingrédients

• 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
• 3 cups water
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp canola oil, divided
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 large scallions, sliced
• 3 large garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tsp sesame oil
• 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 2 large eggs

Préparation

1. 1

   Add rice, water, salt, and butter to a rice maker. Follow instructions on rice maker. When rice is done cooking, spread on a baking sheet and place in the fridge until cold. Alternatively, you can use day old cold cooked rice.

2. 2

   Heat a large griddle, wok or skillet to a high heat. Add 2 teaspoons canola oil and spread on griddle. Add onion and white parts of the scallion. Reserve green tops for the end. Fry until slightly, softened, about 1-2 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Add remaining canola oil and sesame oil to the griddle and when the oil is hot, add rice. Working quickly, use a metal spatula to fry the rice in the oil, stirring frequently. Fry until the rice is starting to get slightly crisp on the edges, about 3-4 minutes. Drizzle soy sauce over the rice, along with garlic powder, peas and carrots. Toss rice until soy sauce has been evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Make a well in the center of the rice and add eggs. Use a wooden spoon to scramble. When they're cooked, toss with the rice. Add the remaining scallions and butter to the rice. Toss and season with salt and pepper.
