The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Heat half of the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Ensure your wok is hot before adding ingredients for best stir-frying results.

  2. 2

    Pour in the beaten eggs and quickly scramble them until just set, then remove from the wok and set aside.

    About 2 min

    Cook’s note: Do not overcook the eggs; they should remain slightly soft.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining vegetable oil to the wok.

  4. 4

    Add the pork sausage, shrimp, and chicken breast to the wok and stir-fry until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.

    About 4 min

    Cook’s note: Cook meats in batches if your wok is not large enough to avoid overcrowding.

  5. 5

    Remove the cooked meats from the wok and set aside with the scrambled eggs.

  6. 6

    Add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic to the wok and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  7. 7

    Stir in the diced carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.

    About 2 min

  8. 8

    Add the chilled cooked jasmine rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with your spatula.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Day-old chilled rice works best for fried rice as it's less sticky.

  9. 9

    Pour in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil, then season with salt and black pepper.

    Cook’s note: Adjust seasoning to your taste.

  10. 10

    Stir-fry the rice mixture for 5-7 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and the rice is heated through.

    About 6 min

    Cook’s note: Keep the rice moving to prevent sticking and to achieve a slight crispness.

  11. 11

    Return the cooked meats and scrambled eggs to the wok.

  12. 12

    Add the thawed frozen peas and stir everything together for another 2 minutes until fully combined and heated.

    About 2 min

  13. 13

    Garnish with the chopped green onion before serving.
