Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain Rice ( (*see notes) or about 3 cups cooked rice)
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Oil
  • 2 sliced bulbs and stalks of Green Onions (aka spring onion)
  • 1/2 cup Carrots cut into matchsticks
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup soft Green Peas
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Vinegar
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Sesame Oil ([optional])

Instruction

  • For the rice either cook it halfway through so that the rice grains are semi/almost cooked or even better use leftover rice which was kept in the fridge. Leftover fridge rice tends to get a bit hard in the fridge and that's what we want. It's easy to stir fry the rice that way or it will get mushy.
  • Heat up a pan or wok with oil.
  • Add the sliced green onion bulbs and stir fry for a minute or two until the onion bulbs have turned soft.
  • Then add the carrot pieces and stir fry for a minute as well.
  • Break the eggs into a small bowl and scramble eggs.
  • Push the carrot and onion slices to the side of the pan so that we can cook the egg. Pour the egg into the pan and let it cook. Then break the eggs into pieces.
  • Mix the whole content of the pan.
  • Add in the green peas. I use cooked soft green peas. Mix everything well.
  • Now you can add the cooked rice.
  • Stir fry and mix the rice with the other ingredients on high heat. Use two wooden frying spatula for that purpose or Chinese cooking chop-sticks.
  • Pour the soy sauce and vinegar over the fried rice. Mix and stir fry again for a minute.
  • Pour the sesame oil over the panda express fried rice for extra Chinese food flavors
  • Mix everything well, garnish with the sliced green onion stalks.
