Egg Fired Rice

       Egg Fried Rice is a popular Chinese dish that combines cooked rice, scrambled eggs, and various vegetables or proteins. It's a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. Here's a simple recipe to make Egg Fried Rice:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old or cooled)
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as carrots, peas, bell peppers, and corn)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Green onions or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
• Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until they become fragrant and lightly browned.
• Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are cooked but still crisp. You can adjust the cooking time based on the desired tenderness of the vegetables.
• Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, creating space for the eggs. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble them until they are fully cooked.
• Once the eggs are cooked, combine them with the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
• Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula or fork. Mix the rice, vegetables, and eggs together until they are well combined.
• Drizzle the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using) over the rice mixture. Stir-fry everything together for a few more minutes, ensuring that the sauces coat the rice evenly.
• Season the Egg Fried Rice with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Be mindful of the saltiness of the soy sauce when adding additional salt.
• Once everything is heated through and well combined, remove the skillet from the heat.
• Garnish the Egg Fried Rice with chopped green onions or cilantro for added freshness and flavor.
• Serve the Egg Fried Rice hot as a standalone dish or as a side with your favorite Chinese entrees.
