Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old for better texture)

1 large ripe peach, diced into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (substitute with tofu for a vegetarian option)

1/2 cup peas and carrots mix (can be frozen or fresh)

1/4 cup green onions, chopped (green and white parts)

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free version)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Dice the peach, shred the chicken (or tofu), and chop the green onions. This preparation sets you up for a smoother cooking experience.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, place it over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Let the oil heat until shimmering, signaling it's ready for your aromatics.

      Cook Aromatics: Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to release their fragrances while ensuring they don't burn.

        Scramble Eggs: Push the aromatic mixture to one side of the skillet, creating space. Pour the beaten eggs into the cleared area and scramble them until they are just set. Once done, mix the eggs into the garlic and ginger for an even distribution of flavors.

          Add Chicken and Veggies: Stir in the shredded chicken (or tofu) along with the peas and carrots. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing everything to heat through completely.

            Add Rice and Peach: Gently add the cooked rice to the skillet. Use a wooden spatula to break apart any clumps. Carefully fold in the diced peach, ensuring you don't mush the fruit.

              Season: Pour the soy sauce evenly over the rice mixture, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything thoroughly so the rice is coated with the sauce and the flavors meld together beautifully.

                Finish with Green Onions: Just before taking the skillet off the heat, add the chopped green onions and give everything one last mix to incorporate the fresh flavor.

                  Serve: Transfer your colorful Peach Fried Rice to bowls or plates. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh basil or cilantro for an extra layer of freshness. Enjoy this delightful sweet-and-savory fusion!
