Step-by-Step Instructions

Whisk the oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and Thai seasoning together in a small bowl. Break up any clumps in the chilled rice so the grains separate easily during stir-frying.

Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat until shimmering.

Add the garlic and onion. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, just until fragrant and the onion begins to soften.

Add the red bell pepper and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly so it stays crisp-tender.

Add the peas and stir-fry for 30 seconds, just until heated through.

Add the jasmine rice and pour the sauce over the top. Toss and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the rice is evenly coated, hot, and lightly caramelized in spots.
