If you're looking for a frugal dinner idea or a way to replicate your favorite Chinese dish at home then this fried rice with hot dogs may just be it! Made with leftover white rice and a few hot dog franks, this dish is tasty, filling, and perfect for a simple meal that the whole family can enjoy.
Heat the sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat.
Add in the onions, carrots and hot dog and cook until the onions are translucent and the hot dogs look browned. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Add in the garlic and then cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Add in the cooked rice.
Stir the rice to fully incorporate and cook for about 3 minutes.
Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into a bowl and then pour the eggs into the open section of your skillet. Scramble the eggs in the pan using a wooden spoon until the eggs are fully cooked.
Stir the cooked eggs into the rice mixture to evenly distribute.
Add in the frozen peas and the soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
Cook for an additional minute or until the peas are warmed through.
Serve with sliced green onions on top if desired.
Notes
Cooked rice. For best results make rice the night before and store it in the fridge in a closed container until ready to use. You can swap out the white rice for brown rice if desired.How to reheat. You can place your fried rice in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 1-2 minutes, stirring about halfway through. I like to add a small pad of butter on top of the rice to help rehydrate it as it cooks, but this is optional.Storage. You can keep your leftover fried rice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days.
