Easy Fried Rice

1 large egg

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 green onion

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 cup cooked white rice

½ cup frozen peas

  • Lightly beat the egg with a fork. Stir in the salt and pepper and set aside. Wash the green onion and dice.

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently.

  • Push the rice to the edges of the frying pan. Add the beaten egg in the middle. Use a spatula to scramble the egg. Mix the scrambled egg with the rice.

  • Stir in the frozen peas. Stir in the green onion, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until heated through. Add more salt, pepper, or other seasonings if desired.

Serves 1–2

Fried rice always tastes best made with cold, cooked rice. Classic Chinese fried rice is made without soy sauce, but you can stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons with the frozen peas if desired.
