Fried Rice

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

• If using leftover rice, break up any clumps so it’s easy to stir-fry.
• Chop vegetables and protein into small, even pieces for quick cooking.

2. Cook the Eggs

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Remove eggs from the pan and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables

1. Add the remaining oil to the skillet.
2. Sauté garlic and onions until fragrant (1–2 minutes).
3. Add mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.

4. Add Rice and Seasonings

1. Add the rice to the skillet and stir-fry, breaking up clumps.
2. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan.
3. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is heated through.

5. Serve

• Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
• Serve hot as a main dish or side.

Tips:

• Day-old rice works best because it’s drier and fries better.
• Customize with whatever leftover vegetables or proteins you have.
• For extra flavor, you can add a splash of oyster sauce or a pinch of chili flakes.
