Ensure all ingredients are prepped and ready. Mince the garlic, dice the meat (if using), and chop the green onions and carrots.

In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sauté until it turns golden brown and fragrant.
Step 4
If using meat, add the diced pork or chicken to the pan and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
Step 5
Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
Step 6
Pour the soy sauce over the rice and mix well. Season with salt and ground black pepper, stirring to ensure even distribution.
Step 7
If using, stir in the diced carrots and cook until tender. Add the green onions at the end for a fresh touch.
Last step
Transfer the fried rice to a serving dish, top with sliced fried egg (if using), and enjoy!
Notes
Perfecting Day-Old Rice
For the best results, use day-old rice as it is drier and prevents the fried rice from becoming mushy.
