How to Make Another Notch Fried Rice
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- 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).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Add the whisked eggs and scramble, stirring constantly, until cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion, bean sprouts, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Add the carrots, green onions, peas, celery, and garlic. Stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly softened.
- Add the cooled rice and stir-fry for 4 minutes, breaking up any clumps.
- Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet.
- Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until heated through and flavors are well combined.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
