Ingredients for Another Notch Fried Rice

  • 3 cups cooked long-grain rice, cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (divided)
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • Yellow Onions
  • 1 cup bean sprouts

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Frozen Green Pea
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery

How to Make Another Notch Fried Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Spread the cooked rice evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to dry slightly. Let cool completely to room temperature (about 30 minutes).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the whisked eggs and scramble, stirring constantly, until cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to the skillet.
  7. Add the chopped onion, bean sprouts, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
  8. Add the carrots, green onions, peas, celery, and garlic. Stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly softened.
  9. Add the cooled rice and stir-fry for 4 minutes, breaking up any clumps.
  10. Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet.
  11. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until heated through and flavors are well combined.
  12. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
