Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as carrots, peas, and corn)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • Optional: sliced green onions or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice and Vegetables: Ensure the rice is cooked and preferably chilled for best texture. Chop and prepare the mixed vegetables and other aromatics for easy cooking.
  2. Heat the Pan and Cook Aromatics: Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, stir-frying until fragrant and translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Push the aromatics to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the cleared space. Scramble the eggs gently until mostly cooked but still moist.
  4. Add Vegetables and Rice: Mix the eggs with the aromatics, then add the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender. Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Season the Rice: Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture, stirring well to evenly distribute the flavor. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and slightly crisped on the edges if desired.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions or cilantro if using. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using day-old rice prevents sogginess and results in better fried rice texture.
  • Feel free to add protein options like chicken, shrimp, or tofu for variation.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to your taste preference and saltiness level.
  • You can customize the vegetables based on availability or preference.
