A delightful twist on the classic fried rice, featuring enhanced flavors and textures.
Cook the rice according to the package instructions and let it cool.
Using day-old rice helps achieve a better texture for fried rice.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain its creamy flavor.
Add the chopped onion, diced carrot, and sliced green onion to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Toast the sesame seeds on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, shaking occasionally.
Keep an eye on the sesame seeds to prevent burning.
In a separate skillet, scramble the beaten eggs until just set.
Cook the eggs gently to keep them soft and fluffy.
Combine the cooked rice, sautéed vegetables, toasted sesame seeds, and scrambled eggs in the skillet.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the mixture and stir well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the fried rice warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
