Fried Rice Side Dish Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 egg
• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (day-old, chilled)
• 1/4 cup carrots (diced)
• 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
• a pinch of salt
• 2 stalks of green onions (finely chopped)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add oil. Crack in the egg and let it cook undisturbed for a few seconds before lightly scrambling it.

2. 2

   Add the cold, cooked rice to the wok and toss it with the egg. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds to a minute, breaking up any clumps using the back of your spatula, so the grains separate nicely.

3. 3

   Add light soy sauce, salt, and diced carrots. Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until the carrots soften slightly but still have a little crunch.

4. 4

   Stir in the chopped green onions and give everything one last mix. Cook for another 30 seconds, then turn off the heat. Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite Thai stir-fry or grilled meat.
