A simple recipe for quick vegetable fried rice using leftover rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked white rice, cold
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1/2 cup chopped firm tofu or scrambled egg (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 green onion, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes.
  5. If using, add the tofu or scrambled egg and cook until lightly browned.
  6. Add the cold rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 5 to 7 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly toasted.
  7. Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  8. Stir in the sesame oil.

Notes

  • Using cold, day-old rice yields the best texture for fried rice.
  • Adjust soy sauce amount based on your preference for saltiness.
