Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups cooked rice preferably day-old
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables carrots, peas, corn
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients before you start cooking.
  2. Preheat your wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Pour in the vegetable oil and let it heat up until shimmering.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble them until just set, then mix with the veggies.
  6. Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine everything.

Notes

For the best texture, always use cold, day-old rice. It prevents clumping and achieves that perfect fry.
