Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked rice (preferably chilled)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Spring onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Ensure the rice is cooked and preferably chilled. This helps in preventing the rice grains from sticking together when frying.
- Chop the garlic, onion, and any other vegetables if not already done.
- Cook and dice the chicken. Peel and devein the shrimp.
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Saute Aromatics:
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for about a minute until fragrant.
- Cook Eggs:
- Push the garlic and onion to one side of the skillet, then pour the lightly beaten eggs into the empty space. Allow them to cook undisturbed for a few seconds until they start to set, then scramble them until fully cooked.
- Add Vegetables and Protein:
- Add the mixed vegetables, cooked chicken, and shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes until the vegetables are tender and the proteins are heated through.
- Add Rice:
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps with a spatula and stir-fry to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Season:
- Drizzle the soy sauce and oyster sauce over the rice mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine, ensuring the sauces are evenly distributed.
- Finish and Serve:
- Continue stir-frying for another few minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve hot as a delicious main course or side dish.
