Ingredients
2
cups
day-old brown rice
2
tablespoons
vegetable oil
2
eggs
beaten
1
cup
mixed vegetables
like carrots, peas, bell peppers, and broccoli, chopped
3
tablespoons
soy sauce
2
green onions
sliced
2
cloves
garlic
minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Protein of choice
chicken, beef, shrimp, tofu
Instructions
In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add garlic and stir until fragrant.
Push garlic to the side, add the eggs and scramble until just set.
Add in the mixed vegetables and stir fry until they're tender.
Push everything to the side, add a bit more oil if needed, and then add the rice. Let it fry for a few minutes until it's hot.
Pour the soy sauce over the rice and mix everything together.
Add in your protein of choice if using, and stir fry until cooked through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Finish with green onions, stir, and serve.
Notes
Use day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice can become mushy when fried.
Make sure the pan or wok is hot before adding ingredients for a crisp texture.
Stir fry in batches if your pan isn't large enough to prevent overcrowding.
Feel free to add protein like chicken, beef, or shrimp.
Adjust the soy sauce according to your salt preference.
