MOM'S THAI FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium high heat.
• While pan is warming, toss the cold rice with your hands, making sure to separate the grains from any clumps.
• Add the garlic to the heated wok, and toss until fragrant and slightly golden.
• Add chicken, beef, or pork and stir fry for about 1 minute.
• Push the meat and garlic up the sides making a well in the middle and add eggs.
• Scramble eggs for 1 minute in middle of pan then, add green onions and peas and incorporate all ingredients together, stir frying for another minute.
• Add rice, turning over rice with pan ingredients several times to coat and stir frying for 2-3 minutes. You want the rice to begin to have a toasted smell, making sure that all the ingredients are constantly being moved around the pan for even cooking.
• If your pan seems to have cooled down to the point where the ingredients are no longer sizzling, you may need to turn the heat up slightly.
• Sprinkle in the sugar and add the fish sauce and oyster sauce.
• Stir fry all ingredients together for one minute more or until sauces are absorbed and mixture is completely combined. Transfer to serving platter.
• Garnish plate edge with sliced cucumber, lime wedges, and additional whole green onions if desired.
