Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 2 green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (375°F), ensuring your pan is evenly coated.
- Toss 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon minced ginger into the hot oil, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until they release their aromatic essence.
- Dump 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn) into the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they become slightly softened and vibrant.
- Fold 2 cups pre-cooked rice into the vegetable mixture, breaking up any clumps and spreading the grains evenly across the pan.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons soy sauce over the rice, sprinkling a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Continue stirring and tossing the rice for another 2-3 minutes until everything is thoroughly combined and heated through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle 2 chopped green onions across the top for a fresh, crisp finish.
Notes
- Always use day-old rice for the best texture and to prevent clumping.
- Chop vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent flavor distribution.
- For a protein boost, add tofu, eggs, or edamame to make the dish more substantial.
- Choose a wide, flat pan or wok to give vegetables enough space to crisp and caramelize without steaming.
