Chinese Fried Rice

You will need:

  • cooked jasmine rice2 cups of cooked jasmine rice
  • vegetable oil2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • frozen mixed vegetables1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables
  • beaten eggs2 large eggs, beaten
  • chopped green onions2 green onions, chopped
  • soy sauce3 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • sesame oil1 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • white pepper1/2 teaspoon of white pepper

Instructions

  1. First, heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. This will provide the base for our stir-fry.
  2. Next, add the frozen vegetables and stir-fry them until they are heated through. This should take about 2-3 minutes. The high heat of the wok will help to quickly thaw and cook the vegetables while maintaining their crispness.
  3. Push the vegetables to one side of the wok, then add the beaten eggs to the other side. Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked. This creates a nice contrast of textures in the dish.
  4. Now, mix the scrambled eggs with the vegetables. This combines the flavors and makes sure that every bite has a bit of everything.
  5. Then, add the cooked rice, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. The soy sauce adds saltiness and umami, the sesame oil gives a nutty flavor, and the white pepper adds a bit of heat.
  6. Finally, stir-fry everything together until the ingredients are well combined and the rice is heated through. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent the rice from sticking to the wok.
