A recipe for flavorful vegetable fried rice paired with a homemade sesame ginger sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cold, day-old cooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: Whisk together all sauce ingredients (soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic powder, red pepper flakes) in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Remove eggs and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes until soft.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables and minced garlic. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add the cold rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps with a spatula and stir fry for 3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through.
  6. Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil. Stir well to combine.
  7. Pour the prepared Sesame Ginger Sauce over the rice mixture. Toss quickly for 1 minute until the sauce coats everything evenly. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use cold, day-old rice for the best texture; fresh rice tends to become mushy when stir-fried.
  • Keep the heat high when stir-frying the rice to achieve a slightly crispy exterior.
  • You can add protein like tofu or shrimp with the vegetables if desired.
