Ingredients
Scale

- 3 cups cooked long-grain white rice
- 1 cup frozen peas & carrots, thawed
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1½ tablespoons Onion Onion™ Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Scramble the Eggs: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and stir slowly and continuously with a rubber spatula until set, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables and Rice: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the cooked rice, thawed peas & carrots, soy sauce, Onion Onion™ Seasoning, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir-fry the mixture until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine Everything: Stir the scrambled eggs back into the skillet, breaking them up as you mix everything together.
- Serve: Serve the fried rice immediately while hot.
Notes
- For best results, use day-old rice for a better texture.
