🍚 Homemade Vegetable Fried Rice with Egg

(Crispy bits. Golden grains. No takeout needed.)

This fried rice isn’t restaurant-perfect — it’s better. Uneven sear marks, soft scrambled egg folded in, and veggies cut by hand. Some clumps, some crunch, all flavor. It’s comfort food the way it’s actually made at home.

📝 Ingredients (serves 2–3):
• 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old, cold)
• 2 eggs
• 1 small carrot, finely diced
• ⅓ cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 2 scallions (optional), chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1½ tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1–2 tbsp neutral oil for frying
• Salt & black pepper to taste

🔥 Instructions:
1. Prep everything:
Cold rice is key. Break it up with your hands or a fork before starting. Dice your vegetables and beat the eggs.
2. Scramble the eggs:
Heat a bit of oil in a wok or skillet. Add eggs and scramble quickly. Remove and set aside.
3. Stir-fry veggies:
In the same pan, add more oil. Sauté garlic, carrots, peas, and scallions (if using) for 2–3 minutes.
4. Add rice & crisp it:
Toss in the rice. Let it sit for 20–30 seconds at a time so it gets a little crispy before stirring. Repeat 2–3 times.
5. Season & finish:
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Return eggs to the pan, break them into pieces, and mix well.
6. Serve:
Scoop into a bowl while still hot. Leave the soy stains on the edge — it’s real food.
