Easy Fried Rice
3c cooked white rice- cold
2 tbsp veg oil
1/2c onion, chopped
6oz frozen mixed veggies
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp white pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 c cooked shrimp
INSTRUCTIONS
-
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, 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.
