Step-by-Step Instructions for Egg Fried Rice
- Begin by breaking apart your cold day-old rice, which is essential for a fluffy Egg Fried Rice. Place the rice in a resealable bag and gently rub it with your hands or simply separate it in a bowl.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large wok over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the beaten large eggs, allowing them to cook for about 1-2 minutes. Stir gently until the eggs are just set but still fluffy. Remove them from the wok and set aside.
- Return the wok to medium-high heat and add another splash of oil. Toss in the diced yellow onion and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant. If using, add the frozen peas and carrots, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until they are heated through.
- Add the prepared day-old rice and the scrambled eggs back into the wok, mixing thoroughly with the vegetables. Stir fry everything together for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with oil and all components are well-combined.
- Drizzle the Shaoxing rice wine around the edges of the wok and stir quickly for about 30 seconds, enhancing the aroma and flavor.
- Pour in the light sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce, mixing everything together for another minute. Stir-fry until the rice is evenly colored and heated through. Finally, add a splash of toasted sesame oil and sprinkle in sliced green onions.
- Garnish your Egg Fried Rice with additional green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot.
