Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Amish
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by measuring and chopping: ensure rice is cooled, vegetables are diced, green onions are finely chopped, and eggs are beaten.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and allow it to warm for 30-45 seconds until it shimmers slightly.
- Pour beaten eggs into the hot skillet, allowing them to spread and cook quickly. Scramble eggs gently, breaking them into small pieces until just set but not overcooked.
- Add mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender but still retain a crisp texture.
- Introduce the cooked rice to the skillet, spreading it evenly and allowing it to toast slightly for enhanced flavor. Stir continuously to prevent sticking.
- Drizzle soy sauce over the rice mixture, ensuring even distribution. Season with salt and pepper, tossing ingredients to combine thoroughly.
- Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning and to develop a slight crispy texture on some rice grains.
- Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot and steaming.
Tips
- Use Day-Old Rice: For the best texture, use rice that has been cooked and cooled in advance. Day-old rice is firmer and less sticky, making it perfect for frying.
- Prep Ahead: Chop your vegetables and beat your eggs before you start cooking. This will streamline the process and help you cook everything evenly.
- High Heat is Key: Ensure your skillet or wok is hot enough before adding the ingredients. This helps achieve that delicious, slightly crispy texture that makes fried rice so enjoyable.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: If you're making a larger batch, consider cooking in batches to avoid steaming the rice. This allows each grain to fry properly.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables or proteins! Bell peppers, peas, or even leftover chicken can make great additions.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Fresh green onions not only add a pop of color but also enhance the dish's flavor. Don’t skip this final touch!
