Ingredients
  

  • Toasted Sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • ⅕ cup yellow or white onion (Finely diced)
  • ⅙ to ¼ cup carrot (Finely diced)
  • ⅙ to ¼ cup green onion (Finely sliced)
  • 1 to 2 Cloves minced garlic
  • Kikkoman soy sauce (Start out with adding a little bit of soy sauce & gradually add more until your fried rice is to your desired preference)
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp garlic butter
  • Pinch of Sugar
  • Pinch of Fried rice seasoning mix or White Pepper (For taste)
  • Optional: Sesame seed (For garnishment)
Garlic Butter Ingredients & Recipe
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ to 1 tsp fresh garlic (minced) or garlic paste 
  • ½ to 1 tsp Kikkoman soy sauce
First,allow the butter to soften and come to room temperature. Then, purée the fresh minced garlic using garlic press or with a knife. (Alternative: you can use garlic paste instead)
Once the butter has softened, add the butter and garlic to a small bowl Slowly add the soy sauce to the garlic butter mixture until it’s totally incorporated, and no liquid remains at the bottom of the bowl.
Note: You can store the butter in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days to 1 week 

Method
 

  1. Note: Cook the rice the day before. Also, you can prep the garlic butter and diced veggies the day before too.
  2. On medium heat, in a wok or large pan add the oil.
  3. Once the pan is hot, add the onion & carrots. Sauté the veggies for 2 minutes or until slightly softened.
  4. Next, add the beaten eggs to the pan and scramble/break up the egg as it is cooking.
  5. Once the veggies & eggs are cooked, add the cooked rice, and spread it out in the pan. (Note: if you need to add a small drizzle of more oil you can do so before adding the rice)
  6. Break up the chunks of rice with a spatula or spoon and cook the rice in the hot pan for 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Mix the veggies and cooked egg into the rice until they are well combined.
  8. Once the rice is hot or has warmed up, drizzle the soy sauce and oyster sauce over the rice and mix the sauces into the rice until well combined.
  9. Next add the garlic butter, green onion, and stir until the rice is completely coated in the melted garlic butter.
  10. Season the rice with a pinch of sugar and add a pinch of your favorite fried rice seasoning. (Or you may season your rice with white pepper for taste instead)
  11. Garnish with sesame seeds and/or green onion. Enjoy!
