Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups cold, cooked rice
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 12 oz frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 3 eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet and cook until they are heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the Rice: Stir in the cold, cooked rice along with the soy sauce. Mix well to ensure the soy sauce evenly coats the rice. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat the rice thoroughly and allow flavors to meld.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet, creating a clear space on the other side. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them gently until fully cooked. Once cooked, combine the scrambled eggs with the rice mixture and stir everything together evenly.
  4. Serve: Serve your Freakin’ Fantastic Fried Rice hot. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and presentation. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For additional protein and heartiness, you can add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • If you prefer a spicy kick, incorporate a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes while cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your salt preference; reducing it slightly may prevent excess saltiness.
