Fried Rice with Ginger and Scallions Recipe

Description:

A vibrant dish of glistening fried rice, speckled with vibrant orange carrots and bright green peas. The rice is scattered with finely chopped scallions, giving it a fresh, green contrast. The individual grains of rice are distinct and slightly crispy, coated in a glossy, savory sauce. A sprinkle of roasted peanuts adds a nutty aroma and satisfying crunch. The overall visual impression is one of delicious warmth and comforting familiarity.


Ingredients:

  • - 2 cups cooked rice (day-old is best)
  • - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • - 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • - 1 inch ginger, minced
  • - 4 scallions, thinly sliced (separate white and green parts)
  • - 1 cup shredded carrots
  • - 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • - 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • - 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
  • - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • - 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. 1. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic and ginger.
  2. 2. Add the white parts of the scallions and stir-fry for another minute, until slightly softened.
  3. 3. Add the shredded carrots and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly tender-crisp.
  4. 4. Add the frozen peas and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
  5. 5. Add the cooked rice to the wok or skillet. Break up any clumps of rice with a spatula or spoon. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
  6. 6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar.
  7. 7. Pour the sauce over the rice and stir-fry for another minute, until the rice is evenly coated and the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. 8. Stir in the green parts of the scallions and remove from heat. Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts (if using) and serve immediately.
