How to Make The BEST Fried Rice

Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil and 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Once the oil is hot, add half of the green onions and garlic, stirring to coat. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes. Add the chopped ham and cook for 2-3 more minutes or until warmed through. Add the peas and carrots and sauté for another minute or so. Transfer the ham and veggies to a plate or bowl and set aside.

In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, add the rice to the skillet and toss to coat. Spread the rice in an even layer, pressing down with a spatula to flatten. Cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes. Stir and repeat this process about two more times, or until the rice is crisp and golden brown. Add the soy sauce, the ham and veggie mixture, and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low.

Meanwhile, in a separate non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. While the butter melts, whisk the eggs in a bowl, then add to the skillet. Cook the eggs while stirring until soft curds form, then remove from heat and add to the fried rice. Taste for seasoning and add more soy sauce or sesame oil if desired. Top with the rest of the green onions and serve.
