2 cups uncooked jasmine rice (about 6 cups cooked)
0.5 - 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
4-5 green onions cut into small pieces (about an ounce, just the green part)
3-4 large eggs
0.5 tsp salt
1-2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 tsp chicken bullion powder (optional)
Peanut oil (or other high smoke point oil) for frying
You can use fresh rice or day-old rice - there is some debate about this, but the "Made with Lau" channel swears that fresh rice is what restaurants use
If your rice is day-old from the refrigerator, heat it up a few minutes in the microwave
Put your frozen peas and carrots in a bowl and microwave them 2 minutes on high. Check for texture, frozen vegetables don't take long to cook so we don't want to overdo it, but they need to be warmed up before stir frying
Heat up your wok on medium - we will be cooking eggs first and don't want them to burn
Crack your eggs into a bowl and add the 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Lightly scramble your eggs with a fork or chopstick, but not as much as you'd do for making scrambled eggs
When your wok is warmed up (350F) add 2 Tablespoons of oil to the wok and swirl around, coating the sides of the wok - we don't want the eggs to stick, if possible
Add your eggs and cook them until firming but very wet (again not to over cook) - this might take only 30 seconds
Add your rice and mix it up thoroughly with the egg. The grains will separate and the eggs will be broken into small pieces. This will take about 2 minutes.
Add your vegetables (but not the green onion) and mix
Now turn up the temperature a bit on the wok (medium high to high) and continue to mix
Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, turn down the heat
Seasoning
Add the following to a small bowl and mix thoroughly:
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon of chicken bullion powder (optional)
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
Mix thoroughly and add to the rice, and continue the stir fry
You can add more soy sauce to taste
Final touches
Add another drizzle of cooking oil (1-2 tsp)
Add your cut up green onions
Mix well, turn off the heat, and serve!
