 Instructions
1. Prepare the seafood
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a pan.

Toss for 2–3 minutes until cooked and fragrant.
Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the fried rice

In a clean pan or wok, heat vegetable oil.
Add chopped garlic and onions; sauté until fragrant.
Add the carrot (if using) and cook for 1–2 minutes.
Push everything to one side and crack in the egg; scramble lightly until half-set.
Add the rice and break up any lumps.
Pour in soy sauce + oyster sauce + sesame oil.
Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the rice becomes golden and well-coated.
Add the cooked seafood mix.
