A comforting dish of egg fried rice, packed with flavors from jasmine rice, vegetables, and aromatic seasonings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice (cooked, dried for at least one day)
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil (or neutral oil)
  • 4 scallions (sliced, whites and greens separated)
  • 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (chopped)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (or raw)
  • 3 eggs (beaten)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp MSG (optional)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions, then spread on a baking sheet and cool. Refrigerate for 24-48 hours.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Stir-fry the scallion whites, garlic, and ginger for 15 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Move the cooked veggies to one side of the pan, add more oil, and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble until 80% cooked.
  6. Add the dried-out rice to the pan and mix for 1-2 minutes until combined.
  7. Season with soy sauce, white pepper, sugar, salt, and MSG, cooking until dry and well-coated with sauce.
  8. Stir in the scallion greens and sesame oil before serving.

Notes

Using day-old rice is key for texture. High heat prevents steaming and stickiness during stir-frying.
