  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Protein of choice (shrimp, chicken, or tofu, optional)


Instructions

Creating the Quick Fried Rice Recipe is simple! Just follow these steps for a deliciously satisfying meal:

1. Prepare the Rice: If using leftover rice, break it apart to remove clumps. Freshly cooked rice can work, but it’s best to let it cool first to avoid sticking.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Next, toss in the frozen peas and green onions. Sauté for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.

4. Add the Protein: If you are using shrimp, chicken, or tofu, add it to the pan at this stage. Cook until fully cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.

5. Scramble the Eggs: Push the vegetables and protein to one side of the pan, then pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Stir gently until the eggs are fully cooked, mixing everything together afterward.

6. Incorporate the Rice: Add the cooked rice to the mixture. Use a spatula to break up any remaining clumps and combine well with the other ingredients.

7. Season the Dish: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Sprinkle the garlic and ginger powder over the rice. Stir everything to combine thoroughly, ensuring the rice is well coated.

8. Taste and Adjust: Season with salt and pepper to your preference. Mix well to distribute evenly.

9. Final Touch: Remove from heat once the rice is heated through. The whole dish should be piping hot and fragrant.

10. Garnish: For an extra burst of flavor, top with more chopped green onions.

With these easy steps, you’re on your way to enjoying a delightful meal that showcases the flavors of hibachi right from your own kitchen!
