Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably leftover and chilled)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Aromatics & Sauces

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Chop all vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly. Ensure cooked rice is ready and chilled for best frying texture.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble gently until just cooked but still soft. Remove eggs from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Veggies: Add remaining oil to the pan, then toss in minced garlic and ginger. Stir continuously until fragrant, about a few seconds. Add the mixed vegetables and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir-Fry the Rice: Add the chilled rice to the pan with the vegetables. Break up any clumps with a spatula while stirring constantly to heat evenly and allow flavors to meld.
  5. Combine Everything: Return scrambled eggs to the pan. Pour in soy sauce and drizzle sesame oil if using. Toss to combine and coat ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend flavors.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Turn off heat and sprinkle sliced green onions on top. Give a quick toss and serve hot and fresh.

Notes

  • Use day-old or leftover rice for best texture; freshly cooked rice should be cooled to avoid mushiness.
  • Cook quickly on high heat to preserve texture and achieve authentic wok flavor.
  • Prep all ingredients beforehand as cooking moves fast.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking and optimal texture.
  • Add soy sauce gradually to control saltiness and flavor balance.
