Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Egg Fried Rice with Peas
- Start by soft-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let sit for 6-7 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped green onions and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the frozen peas to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
- Stir in the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing everything well. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the rice to get slightly crispy.
- While the rice is cooking, slice the soft-boiled eggs in half.
- Once the rice is cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the fried rice on plates and top with the soft-boiled egg halves.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use day-old rice for the best texture; it’s drier and less sticky than freshly cooked rice.
- Adjust the soy sauce according to your taste preference, adding more for extra flavor.
- For added protein, consider mixing in cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Ensure your skillet or wok is hot to achieve a nice sear on the rice.
Easy Variations
- Swap out green peas for other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or broccoli.
- Add a splash of chili sauce for some heat.
- Mix in cooked bacon or ham for a savory twist.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy spring rolls for a crunchy side.
- A simple cucumber salad to balance the richness.
- Grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein.
- Miso soup for a warm, comforting pairing.
