– Create a quick and flavorful fried rice with minimal ingredients. Ideal for a fast, satisfying meal that's ready in minutes. –
Introduction to Fried Rice
– You'll need cooked rice, vegetables (like peas and carrots), eggs, soy sauce, and optional protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu). –
Ingredients List
– Use leftover rice or cook fresh rice and let it cool. Cold rice works best for preventing mushy fried rice. –
Prepare the Rice
– Sauté your chosen vegetables in a bit of oil until tender. This adds crunch and flavour to your fried rice. –
Cook the Vegetables
– Push the vegetables to the side of the pan, scramble eggs in the empty space, and cook until fully set. –
Scramble the Eggs
– Stir in the cold, cooked rice. Mix well with vegetables and eggs, breaking up any clumps. –
Add the Rice
– Add soy sauce and any additional seasonings to taste. Stir everything together until evenly coated and heated through. –
Season and Stir
– Incorporate cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu if desired. This adds extra protein and makes the dish more filling. –
Add Optional Protein
1. Serve your homemade fried rice hot from the pan. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds for added flavour and texture.
