How To Make our family's favorite chinese fried rice

• Step 1
  NOTE: Prepare and measure all the ingredients ahead of time to ensure smooth timing when cooking this recipe.
• Step 2
  PREPARE THE SAUCE: Place the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
• Step 3
  Place the cooked rice in a separate bowl, breaking up any lumps. Set aside.
• Step 4
  If using frozen peas, thaw them and drain. Set aside. If using fresh peas, cook them in boiling water over high heat for approximately 1 - 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Step 5
  Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper of choice (white or black) in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Step 6
  Place a wok over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil, and carefully coat the insides of the wok with the oil with a spatula. When heated, add the eggs and scramble for about 1-2 minutes with a spatula until medium-firm. Transfer to a plate and cut the eggs into smallish pieces to your desired size. Set aside.
• Step 7
  If your wok has egg stuck to it, clean it out and dry it off. Heat the wok again over high heat for 1/2 a minute or so. Add the remaining oil and carefully coat the wok again with your spatula.
• Step 8
  Add the ginger and, stirring briefly, add the garlic. Be careful not to burn either of these ingredients.
• Step 9
  Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt (if using). Lower to medium heat or until the onions are translucent, but not over-cooked.
• Step 10
  Add the peas, raising the heat to high and stir-fry for approximately 2 minutes.
• Step 11
  Add the rice, stirring to mix and cook until the rice is very hot.
• Step 12
  Drizzle in the sauce and lift and stir with the spatula until the rice is evenly coated with the sauce.
• Step 13
  Add the eggs and stir to distribute evenly. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary.
• Step 14
  Turn off the heat; add the scallions and mix them in, distributing evenly. Serve and enjoy.
