Ingredients Method

Ingrédients
  

  • 3 cups 500 g cooked rice, preferably cold
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup 150 g mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, bell peppers)
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce or hoisin sauce optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the wok or pan: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook aromatics: Add onion and garlic; then stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add vegetables: Next, toss in the mixed vegetables and cook for about 3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  4. Scramble the eggs: Meanwhile, push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble gently until cooked.
  5. Add rice and sauce: Then, add the cold rice and break up any clumps. Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring well to coat evenly.
  6. Finish and serve: Finally, season with salt and pepper, garnish with green onions, and serve hot.
  7. Tips and Variations
  8. Use leftover rice that’s at least a few hours old — it fries better than freshly cooked rice.
  9. Add tofu, shrimp, or chicken for extra protein.
  10. Sprinkle sesame seeds or drizzle with chili oil for extra flavor.
  11. Nutritional Note
  12. This dish offers a balance of carbohydrates, vitamins, and fiber from the mixed vegetables while staying low in fat.
