Learn how to make delicious Freakin Fantastic Fried Rice. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this flavorful dish:

  • 3 cups of cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, divided
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn work wonderfully)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for added protein

If you don’t have jasmine rice, any long-grain variety will do. And for a vegan twist, feel free to replace the eggs with scrambled tofu!

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to bring this dish to life:

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook until scrambled. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Toss in the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they’re tender but still crisp.
  3. Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.
  4. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan, along with the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the sauces.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra kick, I sometimes add a dash of hot sauce—something I picked up from my travels in Mexico City.
