Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably chilled)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, corn, and bell peppers)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Scramble the eggs: Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil. Beat the eggs and pour into the pan, cooking until just set, then remove and set aside.
- Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining vegetable oil and stir-fry the mixed vegetables until tender but still crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan with the vegetables, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry to combine everything evenly and heat through.
- Combine eggs and season: Return the scrambled eggs to the pan, drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, then toss everything together thoroughly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot: Remove from heat and serve your veggie fried rice immediately for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for best texture as it dries out and separates better when stir-fried.
- Feel free to use frozen mixed vegetables or any fresh veggies you like.
- For a vegan version, omit eggs and add tofu or more vegetables.
- Adjust soy sauce according to your salt preference.
