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
Instructions
- Note: Cook the rice the day before. Also, you can prep the garlic butter and diced veggies the day before too.
- On medium heat, in a wok or large pan add the oil.
- Once the pan is hot, add the onion & carrots. Sauté the veggies for 2 minutes or until slightly softened.
- Next, add the beaten eggs to the pan and scramble/break up the egg as it is cooking.
- 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)
- Break up the chunks of rice with a spatula or spoon and cook the rice in the hot pan for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Mix the veggies and cooked egg into the rice until they are well combined.
- 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.
- Next add the garlic butter, green onion, and stir until the rice is completely coated in the melted garlic butter.
- 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)
- Garnish with sesame seeds and/or green onion. Enjoy!
