About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup optional vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots, bell pepper)
- ½ cup optional protein (e.g., cooked chicken, shrimp, tofu)
- 2 tablespoons optional green onions
Instructions
- 11. Cook the rice according to package instructions; once cooked, spread it on a tray and let it cool completely (about 20 minutes) or use day‑old refrigerated rice for best texture.
- 22. Prepare any optional vegetables and protein by chopping or dicing them into bite‑size pieces.
- 33. Heat 2 Tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium‑high heat until shimmering.
- 44. If using optional protein, add it now and stir‑fry for 2–3 minutes until heated through; remove and set aside.
- 55. Add any optional vegetables to the wok and stir‑fry for 2–3 minutes until just tender.
- 66. Add the cooled rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps, and stir‑fry for 4–5 minutes, allowing the rice to become lightly crispy on the bottom.
- 77. Return the cooked protein (if used) to the wok, then drizzle 2 Tbsp soy sauce over the rice and toss to combine evenly.
- 88. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper as desired.
- 99. Remove from heat, stir in sliced green onions if using, and serve immediately.
