Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen carrot and peas
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons green onions chopped

Instructions

  • To a large skillet on medium heat, add oil. Once the oil is heated add carrot and peas, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until the veggies soften a bit.
  • Push the veggies on one side of the skillet and the eggs (beaten). Cook the eggs to scramble.
  • Stir in the cooked rice along with the soy sauce, sriracha, salt, and pepper. Mix the rice, eggs, and veggies all together. Cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes by stirring the rice often.
  • Finally, add the green onions and turn off the heat. Transfer the veggie fried rice to a bowl and serve.

Notes

  • Prep your vegetables before you begin cooking. Once your get started, everything moves quickly, and having your prep work done in advance is helpful. 
  • Use COLD rice. This takes some advance planning but using cold rice will give you the best fried rice texture. 
  • Jasmine or long grain rice is the best option as it will not become too sticky. 
  • Use toasted sesame oil instead of olive oil for a nutty flavor.
  • Don’t skimp on the veggies. 
  • Add a splash of extra soy sauce when serving.
