Fantastic recipe for a treat you can serve the family at any time. The dish is deliciously nutritious because it is made with rice and is packed with vegetables and eggs.
Better than takeout fried rice is a very good option for you if you’re sick of ordering food from restaurants and just want to make your own recipe. The dish is flavorful and crisp, making it almost superior to takeout fried rice. It won’t break the bank and is very simple to prepare
Chilling the rice before using it is the key to creating this flavorful and crisp fried rice at home. The rice should ideally rest in the fridge for the entire night. The outcome is better the longer it chills and dries out.
I prefer cooking my rice the night before, spreading it out on a baking sheet and leaving it uncovered in the refrigerator until the next evening when I’m ready to fry it up. Then all you have to do is chop up some vegetables, whisk a few eggs and you’re ready to go!

How to Prepare
Step 1: Preheat preferably, a large skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tbsp. of the butter into the pan for it to melt. After this add the lightly beaten eggs to it and allow to cook until it is done or for about 30-40 seconds, then scramble. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 2: Add the remaining butter to the hot pan, add the carrot and onion, leave it to cook until it is soft, add the garlic and cook until you can feel the smell, without it turning to brown.
Step 3: Turn the heat up slightly and add the rice and peas, leave it to cook for about 3-4 minutes or until it is slightly brown, then add the eggs, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil and oyster sauce. Let it cook for a few more minutes until the mixture is hot.
Step 4: Season with salt and pepper, and serve while still hot to enjoy better.
