Instructions
Prepare the rice
- Use cold cooked rice. This keeps the grains separate and fluffy.
Heat the wok

Sauté onion and garlic
- Add onion and garlic. Cook until fragrant and soft.
Add veggies
- Add carrots, peas, corn, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts.
Add meats

Add rice

Season with sauces

Add eggs back
- Add scrambled eggs back to the wok. Stir until mixed.
Garnish and serve
- Top with green onions. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for best texture.
- Cook on high heat for a smoky flavor.
- Add more soy sauce for deeper taste.
- Try adding pineapple for a sweet twist.
- Use tofu for a vegetarian version.
- Add chili sauce if you like heat.
