Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
- 2 eggs
Supporting Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Aromatics and Garnish:
- 2 green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
Instructions
- Warm 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet at medium heat for even cooking surface.
- Drop 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 1 teaspoon minced ginger into hot oil, stirring constantly for 45-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss 1 cup mixed vegetables into the pan, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened and bright in color.
- Nudge vegetables to one side of the skillet, creating an open space for 2 beaten eggs.
- Pour beaten eggs into the cleared pan area, scrambling quickly until completely set and no liquid remains.
- Add 2 cups precooked rice directly into the skillet, combining with eggs and vegetables.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons soy sauce across the rice mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute seasoning evenly.
- Sprinkle 2 chopped green onions over the rice, stirring for an additional 2 minutes to blend flavors and warm through.
- Transfer fried rice to serving plates, ensuring each portion gets a balanced mix of vegetables, eggs, and seasoning.
Notes
- Cold rice works best for perfect texture and prevents mushiness when stir-frying.
- Use a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet or wok to get that authentic restaurant-style crispy edge on your rice.
- Chop vegetables into uniform small pieces so they cook evenly and quickly during the stir-fry process.
- For a protein boost, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu right after scrambling the eggs to make the dish more substantial.
