Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ginger minced
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Once shimmering, pour in beaten eggs and scramble until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside for later.
  2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the same wok, letting it heat for 30 seconds until very hot. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. This blooms the flavors and prevents burning.
  3. Toss in diced carrots and broccoli florets, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften slightly. Add corn and peas, cooking for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through completely.
  4. Add the cooked rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with your spatula as you stir. This step transforms your 30 minute veggie fried rice family recipe into a cohesive, delicious meal. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until rice is heated and coated with oil.
  5. Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture, tossing constantly for 2 minutes to distribute flavors evenly. Add white pepper and return the scrambled eggs to the wok, stirring gently to combine everything.
  6. Fold in diced red bell pepper and green onions, cooking for just 1 minute to maintain their fresh texture. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed—add more soy sauce if you prefer deeper umami flavor.
