Ingredients
3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (plus 1 teaspoon)2 whole Eggs (beaten)
1⁄3 cup Onion (finely chopped)
1⁄3 cup Carrot (finely chopped)
1⁄3 cup Green Onion (finely chopped, plus 1 whole)
3 cups Rice (cooked)
1 teaspoon Salt
1⁄2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 1⁄2 tablespoon Soy Sauce (plus 1 teaspoon)
2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds
2 1⁄2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened)
2 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
Directions
- Whisk eggs well in a small bowl. Finely dice onion, carrot and green onions. Set aside. In a small bowl add butter, garlic and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Set aside.
- Heat wok over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, along with beaten eggs and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook well, cutting the eggs into small pieces. Once cooked, remove to a medium bowl.
- Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan, along with onion and carrots, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Add green onions to the pan and toss for about 30 seconds. Add these cooked vegetables to the bowl of scrambled eggs.
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the hot skillet, along with your rice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Use a spatula to break up the rice and heat it through for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the bowl of cooked vegetables and eggs, along with the garlic butter. Toss and heat through, letting the butter melt. Season with a good pinch of black pepper.
- Finally, scrape the rice to the side of the pan and pour the 1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce straight onto the pan, allowing the sauce to sizzle up for a few seconds and thicken. Then fold the rice into the glaze, tossing and cooking until it is well combined and evenly browned. Add the sesame seeds. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Remove from heat. Serve with additional sliced green onions to garnish.
