This easy, foolproof fried rice recipe delivers perfect texture and savory flavor just like your favorite restaurant, all in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

* 3 cups cold, cooked jasmine or long-grain white rice (day-old is best)

* 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

* 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

* 3-4 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)

* 3 cloves garlic, minced

* 2 tbsp neutral oil (divided)

* 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)

* 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)

* 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

* Salt and white pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Ensure all ingredients are prepped and ready by the stove.
  2. Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add ½ tbsp oil.
  3. Pour in beaten eggs, let set briefly, then scramble until softly cooked. Remove to a plate.
  4. Increase heat to high. Add remaining oil to the wok.
  5. Add the white parts of the green onions and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the cold rice, breaking up clumps. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until hot and slightly toasted.
  7. Push rice aside. Add mixed vegetables to the empty space and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Drizzle soy sauce and oyster sauce over the rice. Toss everything together vigorously.
  9. Return scrambled eggs to the wok. Add green onion tops and drizzle with sesame oil.
  10. Toss to combine, heat through, season with white pepper/salt, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Always use cold, day-old rice for the best separated, non-mushy grains.
  • Cook over the highest heat your stove can manage to sear ingredients quickly.
  • Have all components (sauces, veggies, eggs) prepped before you start cooking.
