Vegetable Fried Rice

Print Recipe

Fried rice is endlessly variable and is a great way to turn leftover rice and vegetables into a quick and easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup (100g) chopped onion
  • 1 cup (200g) mixed chopped vegetables (such as peppers, mushrooms, green onions)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 cups (350g) cooked white or brown rice, cooled to room temperature

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat. When the oil is hot, gently crack eggs into the pan. Fry eggs until the whites are cooked through but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Remove the eggs with a spatula.
  2. Add the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil to the hot pan. Add the onion and vegetables. Stir-fry until onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and soy sauce, stirring to coat vegetables. Add rice and stir-fry until rice is heated through and begins to brown on the bottom of the pan, about 2 minutes.
  3. Serve immediately, topping each serving with a fried egg.

Notes

Any variety of rice will work in this recipe, but it will hold its shape best if allowed to cool to room temperature before using. (Or, even better, if used after having been chilled in the refrigerator.)

For variations, consider one of the following combinations for the 1 cup of chopped vegetables:

– whole roasted cashews and finely chopped pineapple

– corn and grape tomatoes

– sliced green onions and bok choy

– thinly sliced carrots and broccoli florets
