Best Fried Rice Recipe
Check out this mouthwatering fried rice. It’s easy to whip up and makes for a perfect side or even a main dish. Let’s bring that kitchen magic alive!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked rice (day-old rice works best)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by heating your vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. You want that oil hot enough to get things cooking!
- Add the chopped onions and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they become translucent and slightly golden. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until that fragrance hits you!
- Next, toss in the mixed vegetables. If you got frozen vegetables, no worries—just let them thaw in the heat. Stir it all together for about 2-3 minutes.
- Now, make a little space in your skillet. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them up until they’re fully cooked. Once done, mix everything together.
- Time to add the star of the show—your day-old rice! Break up any clumps and toss it into the pan. Stir it up nice and even so that every grain gets some of that flavor.
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix again until everything is well coated. Don’t forget to add salt and pepper to your liking.
- Once it’s all heated through, remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
