Chinese Style Fried Rice

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, divided

2 eggs, whisked

2 medium carrots, peeled and diced

1 small white onion, diced

1/2 cup frozen peas

3 cloves garlic, minced

salt and black pepper

4 cups cooked and chilled rice (I prefer short-grain white rice)

3–4 tablespoons soy sauce, or more to taste

2 teaspoons oyster sauce (optional)

1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Directions

1. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large wok over medium-high heat until melted. Add egg, and cook until scrambled, stirring occasionally. Remove egg, and transfer to a separate plate.
2. Add an additional 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and heat until melted. Add carrots, onion, peas and garlic, and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion and carrots are soft.
2. Increase heat to high, add in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter, and stir until melted. Immediately add the rice, green onions, soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), and stir until combined.
3. Continue stirring for an additional 3 minutes to fry the rice. Then add in the eggs and stir to combine.
4. Remove from heat, and stir in the sesame oil until combined. Taste and season with extra soy sauce, if needed.
5. Serve up and enjoy
