Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of cooked rice ideally chilled from the day before for a firmer texture
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or sesame oil for an extra layer of flavor
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup carrots diced
  • 1/2 cup peas frozen or fresh
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels optional
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup broccoli chopped into small florets
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper chopped (red, yellow, or green)
  • 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil optional for extra flavor
  • 2-3 green onions chopped

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Ingredients : Use day-old rice for the best texture. If fresh rice is used, let it cool and dry slightly before cooking. Chop all vegetables and whisk the eggs.
  • Prepare the Eggs: Warm a wok or large frying pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly, until fully set. Once cooked, remove the eggs from the pan and set them aside.
  • Cook the Vegetables: Pour the remaining oil into the skillet and heat it up. Once hot, sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the carrots, peas, corn (if using), broccoli, and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Add the Rice : Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the rice to the empty space. Stir-fry the rice for 2-3 minutes to heat through and slightly crisp it. Combine the rice with the vegetables, mixing everything evenly.
  • Season and Finish : Add the soy sauce and sesame oil (if using) to the rice mixture. Adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in the scrambled eggs and green onions.
  • Serve : Serve hot as a standalone dish or alongside your favorite main course.
