Description

A fast and craveable weeknight dinner featuring fluffy stir-fried rice with vegetables, scrambled eggs, and flavorful sauces.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or canola oil)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
  2. Add mixed vegetables and sauté for 2–3 minutes until tender. If using frozen, cook until warmed through.
  3. Push the vegetables to one side and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble until fully set, then break into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Add the cooked rice and break up clumps with a spatula. Stir together with the vegetables.
  5. Pour in soy sauce and drizzle sesame oil. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until heated through and lightly toasted.
  6. Stir in green onions, taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best results and avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking. Customize with proteins or additional vegetables as desired.
