Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- Yum Yum sauce for serving
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Ensure rice is cooked and cooled beforehand. Day-old rice works best as it's less sticky and separates easily during frying.
- Heat a large flat griddle or wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and allow it to become hot and shimmering.
- Crack the beaten eggs directly onto the cooking surface. Quickly scramble them, breaking into small pieces, and push to one side of the cooking area.
- Add mixed vegetables to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they become slightly tender but retain a crisp texture.
- Add the pre-cooked rice to the pan. Use a flat spatula to spread and break up any clumps, ensuring even heating.
- Pour soy sauce over the rice, continuously stirring and tossing to distribute the sauce and prevent sticking.
- Combine the scrambled eggs back into the rice mixture, mixing thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, allowing the rice to develop a slight golden-brown color and crispy edges.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately with Yum Yum sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
Tips
- Use Day-Old Rice: For the best texture, use rice that has been cooked and cooled beforehand. Day-old rice is less sticky, making it easier to fry and achieve that perfect, fluffy consistency.
- Preheat Your Pan: Make sure your griddle or skillet is hot before adding the sesame oil. This helps to create a nice sear on your ingredients and enhances the overall flavor.
- Keep It Moving: Stir-frying is all about quick movements! Keep the ingredients moving in the pan to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the mix! Bell peppers, broccoli, or even mushrooms can add a personal touch to your fried rice.
- Crispy Edges: For that classic hibachi-style finish, let the rice sit undisturbed for a minute or two during the cooking process to develop those delicious crispy edges.
- Serve Hot: Fried rice is best enjoyed fresh off the stove, so serve it immediately while it’s still warm and fragrant, alongside a generous portion of Yum Yum sauce for dipping or drizzling.
