Hey everyone! I wanted to share a super easy and tasty fried rice recipe that s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It s great for using up leftover rice and whatever veggies you have in the fridge. You can make this all the time when you don t feel like doing anything complicated but still want something warm and filling.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked rice (cold/leftover rice works best)
2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or sesame)
2 eggs (optional)
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, etc.)
2 3 tablespoons soy sauce (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Spring onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
If using eggs, heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and scramble the eggs. Set aside.
Add remaining oil to the pan and sauté onion and garlic for a minute or two.
Toss in the veggies and stir-fry for a few minutes until heated.
Add the rice, break up any clumps, and mix well.
Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil (if using). Stir everything together and fry for a few more minutes.
Add the eggs back in, mix, and season with salt and pepper.
Top with spring onions if you have them. Done!
