Fried Rice Recipe
PREP TIME
10minutes
COOK TIME
15minutes
TOTAL TIME
25minutes
SERVINGS
4
Ingredients
3 cups jasmine rice cooked (see notes)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 large Vidalia onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup peas and carrots frozen
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
green onions
cilantro optional
Instructions
In a large skillet or wok, preheat vegetable oil over medium heat and add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the garlic from burning.
Add peas and carrots and cook until partially thawed, 1 to 2 minutes.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and add cooked rice. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until rice is nice and hot and starts to brown. Reduce heat and push rice to the sides of the pan, making a hole for the eggs.
Crack the eggs into the middle of the pan and scramble. Once eggs are cooked, stir them into the rice.
Mix soy sauce and sesame oil together and pour over rice. Stir until rice is evenly coated with sauce.
Top with chopped green onions and/or cilantro, optional.
NOTES:
Rice: This recipe uses jasmine rice but you can try other types such as white rice or long grain rice. You can even test brown rice in the dish, just make sure you alter cooking times as needed by the packet as different types need slightly different preparation.
Vegetables: Select any vegetables you love or have in the house to make the dish. You can also use frozen vegetables, just let them defrost first. A few ideas include broccoli, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, sweet corn, red peppers and bell peppers. You can also use a vegetable mix full of colorful vegetables in this recipe.
Meat: You can also add some meat to the recipe such as leftover chicken to make it into something like takeout chicken fried rice. Shredded pork, bacon or beef also works well. You can also add shrimp if you like seafood.
