Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably chilled/day-old)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots blend
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
  • Optional: Sriracha or chili flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil. Once the oil shimmers, pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble them quickly until just set, then remove the eggs from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
  2. In the same pan, add a tiny bit more oil if needed. Toss in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the frozen peas and carrots. Sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Turn the heat up to high and add the cooked rice to the skillet. Use a spatula to break up any large clumps of rice. Pour the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil over the rice. Stir-fry everything constantly for 3 to 4 minutes. Fold the cooked eggs back into the pan during the last minute of cooking.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat immediately. Stir in half of the sliced green onions. Transfer the rice to bowls and top with the remaining green onions. If you like a kick of heat, drizzle some Sriracha or sprinkle red chili flakes over the top before serving hot.
