Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old for best texture)
• ½ cup frozen peas

• 2 large eggs
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Egg Fried Rice with Peas and Corn

1. Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let them simmer for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled effect. Remove from heat, cool them in cold water, and peel.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the green onions and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the frozen peas and corn to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until heated through.
4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and scramble them until fully cooked, about 2 minutes.
5. Mix the scrambled eggs with the vegetables, then add the cooked rice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
6. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through and evenly coated with the sauces.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, topped with the soft-boiled eggs, sliced in half to let the yolk run.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use day-old rice for the best texture, as it’s drier and won’t clump together.
• Adjust the soy sauce based on your salt preference; start with less and add more if needed.
• For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or ginger while sautéing the vegetables.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal.
• Incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli.
• Swap the jasmine rice for brown rice or quinoa for a different twist.
• Try adding a splash of chili sauce for some heat.

What to Serve With It

• A side of steamed dumplings for a complete Asian-inspired meal.
• Fresh cucumber salad to add a refreshing crunch.
• Miso soup to complement the flavors of the fried rice.
