- 8 oz char siu pork, diced (or substitute with cooked ham or bacon)
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
For the Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce (for color)
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Kitchen Tools Needed:
- Large wok or deep skillet
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Small mixing bowl for sauce
- Large bowl for rice prep
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board
Steps
- Prepare the Rice: Break up any clumps in the cold rice with your hands or a fork. Set aside in a large bowl.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, white pepper, and sugar until well combined.
- Scramble the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble until just set but still slightly soft. Remove to a plate and break into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook Aromatics: Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables and Pork: Add diced onion and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened. Add char siu pork and peas and carrots, stir-frying for 2 minutes until heated through.
- Fry the Rice: Add remaining oil to the wok, then add the cold rice. Use a spatula to break up any remaining clumps and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring each grain is coated with oil and heated through.
- Combine and Finish: Return scrambled eggs to the wok along with the sauce. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until well combined and evenly colored. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil and green parts of green onions. Garnish with sesame seeds if using.
