Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked white rice , cold
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup onion , chopped
- 6 ounces frozen vegetable mix , or fresh vegetables
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce*
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 eggs , lightly beaten
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shrimp or chinese sausage , optional
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce of choice and white pepper. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, cast iron pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until opaque and soft. If you are adding raw vegetables or a cooked protien, add them at this step as well.
- After onion has cooked, add frozen vegetables. Stir until defrosted, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add cold rice, using a spatula to toss the rice with other ingredients. Do NOT stir, instead toss or flip to prevent the starch from making the rice too soggy.
- Add lightly beaten eggs, continuing to flip until eggs are nearly cooked.
- Pour sesame oil mixture over top of rice, continuing to flip and toss until all grains are uniformly colored. If you do not use a dark soy sauce, yours might not be as dark as mine.
