How to Make Best Of The Best Fried Rice

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped carrot. Sauté until onions are translucent and carrots are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. In the empty space, scramble 2 large eggs until cooked through.
  4. Mix the scrambled eggs with the sautéed vegetables. Set aside.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over high heat until very hot.
  6. Add 3 cups of cold cooked rice to the skillet and stir well to separate the grains.
  7. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth (or water) to the skillet.
  8. Stir-fry the rice constantly until all liquid is absorbed.
  9. Add 1 cup cooked chicken (or other protein of your choice), diced, to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute.
  10. Add the reserved egg and vegetable mixture to the skillet.
  11. Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (or to taste). Cook until heated through and well combined.
  12. Serve hot and garnish as desired (optional: green onions, sesame seeds).
