This Fried Rice recipe couldn’t be easier – just throw everything into a pan and cook! Think light, fluffy rice loaded with savory, umami goodness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dry rice, cooked and cooled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup green onion, thinly sliced
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or rice wine vinegar)
Instructions
- Rinse the dry rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Cook the rice using your preferred method (rice cooker or stovetop), then let it cool. For best results, refrigerate the rice until chilled.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sesame oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Push the garlic and ginger to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the open space. Let them cook for about 1 minute, then scramble and stir to combine with the aromatics.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to break up any clumps and coat the rice with the oil and aromatics. Cook for about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Stir in the sliced green onions and cook for 2 final minutes, until everything is heated through and well combined.
