Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked basmati rice preferably day-old
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ½ cup green peas
- ½ cup diced carrots
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: A pinch of chili flakes for heat
Instructions
Prepare the Rice:
- If using freshly cooked rice, spread it out on a plate and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes. Day-old rice works best as it’s firmer and less sticky.
Scramble the Eggs:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly, until they are scrambled and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onions, carrots, and green peas for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add Garlic and Soy Sauce:
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to combine.
Combine Rice and Eggs:
- Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the rice is coated with the soy sauce and heated through. Add the scrambled eggs back into the pan and mix everything together.
Season and Garnish:
- Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
- Enjoy your Authentic Anjappar Egg Fried Rice!
