Ingredients
Scale
- Cooked rice (day-old recommended) 2 cups
- Eggs 2 large
- Bacon or sausage cooked and crumbled 1/2 cup
- Frozen mixed vegetables 1 cup
- Soy sauce 2 tablespoons
- Sesame oil 1 teaspoon
- Green onions thinly sliced 2 tablespoons
- Garlic minced 1 clove
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Step 2: Push the garlic to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, then break them into smaller pieces.
- Step 3: Add the cooked rice and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through and the vegetables are tender.
- Step 4: Add the cooked bacon or sausage and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir everything together well, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with soy sauce.
- Step 5: Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded.
- Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover fried rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best flavor, reheat individual portions in a skillet with a splash of water or broth to prevent dryness.
- Top your breakfast fried rice with a fried egg for extra protein and richness!
- Don't overcrowd the pan when stir-frying; cook in batches if necessary to ensure the rice gets nicely toasted, not steamed.
