Prep time: 5 min

Total time: 17 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 400g Day-old cooked rice cold; 4 large Eggs; 150g Frozen edamame shelled; 100g Frozen peas; 1 medium Carrots diced small; 3 tbsp Soy sauce; 1 tsp Sesame oil; 3 cloves Garlic minced; 2 tbsp Vegetable oil; 3 Green onions sliced; 0.5 tsp White pepper

I've been chasing the perfect egg fried rice for years. The secret isn't the sauce — it's using DAY-OLD rice and a scorching hot pan. Add extra eggs and edamame for protein and suddenly a $3 pantry meal has 30g of protein and tastes like the best fried rice you've ever had. I will never order this dish from a restaurant again.
