Welcome to StartCooking.com. I'm Kathy Maister. Cooking up some fried rice is a great way to use up leftovers.

Ingredient and equipment list are at the end of this video. Be sure to start with two cups of cold cooked rice.

When it's just cooked, hot rice is too moist and sticky and will make your fried rice very soggy.

As with all stir-fry recipes, get all your ingredients prepared before you turn on the stove.

Let one cup of frozen peas defrost on a plate while the rest of the ingredients get prepared.

Crack two eggs into a small bowl and beat them with a fork until they are all mixed together.

We need about one-half cup of diced onions.

Cut off the top of the onion and peel away the skin, leaving the root end intact.

Making one eighth inch cuts dice the onion.

Trim the ends off two green onions and cut them into about one quarter inch bits.

Now for the sauce, measure 1th cup of oyster sauce into a measuring

cup. Mix in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Let's start cooking. Preheat a large frying pan on

medium heat for about 30 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil or peanut oil. Let that heat

up for another 30 seconds. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan.

Swirl them around so that there's a thin layer of eggs on the bottom of the pan.

Let the eggs cook until they're dry on top.

Remove the eggs from the pan and put them onto a plate.

With two dinner knives, slice them into strips.

They'll get added to the rice in just a minute.

Turn the heat up to medium high and add one more tablespoon of oil to the pan.

Heat the oil for about 30 seconds.

Add the diced yellow onion to the hot oil and cook the onion for about one minute.
