Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked rice preferably chilled or leftover rice
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil vegetable, sunflower, or sesame oil
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables carrots, peas, corn, bell peppers
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1- inch piece ginger grated
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional, for aroma
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional protein: cooked chicken shrimp, or tofu

Equipment

  • Large wok or skillet
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Bowl for beaten eggs

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Rice: Use leftover or chilled rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice tends to be sticky.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or skillet. Add beaten eggs, scramble quickly, and cook until just set. Remove eggs and set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: In the same pan, add remaining oil, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds. Add mixed vegetables and cook 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Fry the Rice: Add chilled rice to the pan, breaking up clumps. Stir-fry 5–6 minutes, ensuring each grain is coated with oil and aromatics.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Return eggs to the pan. Add green onions, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook 2–3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve: Transfer to a plate, garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Rice Tip: Day-old rice works best to prevent clumping.
  • Vegetable Variations: Swap in broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, or snap peas.
  • Protein Options: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal.
  • Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for best texture.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a dash of coconut aminos, lemon juice, or mild spices to enhance flavour without soy sauce.
