Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups jasmine rice
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 3 green onions
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Cooking Components:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat until the surface shimmers slightly.
- Pour 2 beaten eggs into the skillet and scramble quickly until fully cooked and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer eggs to a separate plate.
- Toss 1 cup mixed vegetables into the same skillet, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until they become bright and slightly tender.
- Add 3 cups cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps and spreading it evenly across the pan’s surface.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil over the rice, then mix thoroughly to ensure every grain gets coated.
- Return scrambled eggs to the skillet and sprinkle 3 chopped green onions across the mixture, gently folding everything together.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, continuing to stir and heat for an additional 2-3 minutes until the rice develops slight crispy edges.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately while the rice remains hot and fragrant.
Notes
- Cold rice works best for authentic texture and prevents soggy fried rice.
- Chop vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent bite.
- Use high heat to create delicious crispy edges on your rice while maintaining moisture.
- For a protein boost, add diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu during the vegetable cooking stage.
