Cuisine Asian
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups day-old cooked rice
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble them until just set. Remove the eggs to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the frozen mixed vegetables and diced bell pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are warmed through.
  • Add the day-old rice and break up any clumps. Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and the sesame oil. Stir-fry everything together for 3 minutes.
  • Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet along with most of the sliced green onions. Toss to combine and heat through for 1 minute.
  • Divide the fried rice among bowls. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce over each serving and finish with the rest of the green onions.

Notes

Day-old rice keeps the grains separate during stir-frying. If you only have fresh rice, spread it on a baking sheet and let it cool for 10 minutes first. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet with a splash of water to loosen the rice.
