Ingredients
- • 2 to 3 tablespoons peanut oil ((or vegetable oil) (*Footnote 1))
- • 1/2 lb minced pork
- • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce (, divided)
- • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- • 3 spring onions (, chopped)
- • 3 cloves garlic (, minced)
- • 3 eggs (, beaten)
- • 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables ((carrots, peas, and corn))
- • 3 cups leftover steamed rice ((long grain or medium grain rice))
- • Salt ((to taste))
- • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Preparation Steps
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the minced pork. Break it apart and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the spring onions, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce. Stir and cook for 1 minute to mix well.
Add the rice and turn to medium heat. Cook and stir to mix everything together. 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in a bit more oil if the rice looks dry. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and soy sauce. Stir to mix the sauce with the other ingredients.
Add the mixed vegetables. Stir everything together and cook until the vegetables defrost, 1 minute or so.
Move everything to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the other side of the pan. Add the beaten eggs. Let the bottom set for a couple of seconds. Then scramble the eggs and use your spatula to cut them into small pieces. Then mix the eggs with the other ingredients.
Taste the rice and add salt to adjust the seasoning, if needed, then mix well again. If you like slightly crispy rice, let the rice sit on the hot pan for 20 to 30 seconds without stirring.
Add the sesame oil and mix everything again. Transfer the fried rice onto serving plates. Serve hot as a main or side dish.
