Ingredients:
1 cup of cooked rice (preferably leftover rice)
1/2 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, etc.)
1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter
2 eggs, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (green onions, cilantro) for garnish
Directions:
Prepare the rice: If you don’t have leftover rice, quickly cook some rice and let it cool slightly. The rice should be fluffy and not sticky to get that perfect texture.
Sauté vegetables: Heat olive oil or butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté them for 2-3 minutes until they’re tender.
Cook the eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until they’re fully cooked and set aside.
Combine rice and flavors: Add the rice to the pan with the cooked vegetables and eggs. Stir well to combine and heat everything through.
Season: Add the minced garlic and soy sauce to the pan, stirring constantly for about a minute until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and sesame oil if using.
Final touches: Toss everything together and remove from heat. Garnish with fresh herbs like green onions or cilantro.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This dish makes a great quick meal on its own or can be served alongside grilled chicken, shrimp, or even a simple salad. You can enjoy it hot or at room temperature, making it perfect for meal prep!
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to keep it moist.
