Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked rice Best if chilled or day-old rice
  • 1 cup mixed leftover veggies (like carrots, peas, bell peppers) Feel free to substitute with other veggies like broccoli or corn
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 unit green onion For garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add your mixed leftover veggies to the skillet and sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they’re tender and warmed through.
  3. Increase the heat to high and introduce the cooked rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine everything together.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of soy sauce over the rice, and mix thoroughly, ensuring every grain is coated.
  5. If using eggs, push the rice mixture to one side. Crack two eggs on the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked. Mix them into the rice.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or microwave.
