Vegetable Fried Rice with Egg

Instructions

1. 1

   Use cold leftover rice if you have it; fresh rice works if you spread it on a sheet pan to cool for 10 minutes. Slice the green onions and mince the garlic.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Scramble the eggs until just set, then move to a plate.

3. 3

   Add the remaining oil, then the peas and carrots, white parts of the green onions and garlic. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the rice and press it into the pan. Let it sit 1-2 minutes to crisp, then stir and repeat for about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, return the eggs, and toss. Top with green onion tops.

6. 6

   Toss in any leftover veggies from the fridge.
