Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old for best texture)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced (or shrimp/tofu for a vegetarian option)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and corn, frozen or fresh)
- 4 scallions, chopped (whites and greens separated)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. You’ll know it’s ready when the oil shimmers but doesn’t smoke.
- Add the chopped white parts of the scallions and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them for about 2 minutes, or until they are just set and no longer runny. Avoid overcooking them; you want them soft and fluffy.
- Next, add the diced chicken (or your chosen protein) to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally. Make sure the chicken is coated with the egg mixture.
- Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender. If using frozen vegetables, they should be heated all the way through and slightly softened.
- Now, add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir everything together and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy at the bottom. Don’t forget to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan!
- Pour in the soy sauce, sriracha, mayonnaise, and sesame oil. Mix well until everything is evenly coated, cooking for an additional minute. The rice should be vibrant and fragrant.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss in the green parts of the scallions just before serving. This adds a fresh touch.
- Serve the fried rice hot, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your delicious one-pan meal!
