America’s Test Kitchen; important to use chilled rice. Hot or even warm rice will turn out mushy. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 large eggs, beaten lightly |
1 cup frozen peas, thawed |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
4 cups cooked white rice, chilled |
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (or thinly sliced cooked pork or beef) |
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce |
3 tablespoons oyster sauce |
1 cup bean sprouts |
5 scallions, sliced thin |
Directions:
1. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. 2. Add in eggs; cook without stirring until just beginning to set, about 20 seconds. 3. Continue to cook eggs, stirring constantly, until eggs are cooked through but not browned, about 1 minute; transfer to a small bowl; set aside. 4. Add remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons oil to skillet; return to high heat until just smoking. 5. Add in peas and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 6. Add in rice, meat, soy sauce, and oyster sauce; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is heated through, about 3 minutes. 7. Stir in bean sprouts, scallions, and reserved cooked eggs; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. 8. Serve immediately. |
