Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and cooled white rice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots, bell peppers), diced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Allow it to heat for about a minute until it shimmers.
  2. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the hot oil. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes until the onions become translucent.
  3. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. If using frozen vegetables, ensure they are thawed and drained before adding.
  4. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil into the empty space. Add the cooked rice and stir everything together, breaking up any lumps of rice.
  5. Sprinkle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice and stir to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Push the rice and vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them into the rice.
  7. Add the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using, to the rice. Stir everything one final time and remove the skillet from heat. Serve hot.
