- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 3 cups cold cooked white rice
- 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.25 tsp salt
How to make Easy Egg Fried Rice
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Crack 3 large eggs into a small bowl and whisk them lightly with a fork until just combined. Pour the whisked eggs into the hot skillet.
- Scramble the eggs for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until they are just set but still soft. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Once hot, add 3 cups of cold cooked white rice, breaking up any clumps with your spatula.
- Stir-fry the rice for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to heat through and develop a slight crispiness. This step is crucial for good fried rice texture.
- Add 1.5 cups of frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet with the rice. Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet with the rice and vegetables. Pour 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of salt over everything.
- Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients and ensure the soy sauce is evenly distributed and the rice is coated. Cook for 1 more minute to heat everything through.
- Taste the fried rice and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or salt if needed. Serve immediately as a quick and satisfying meal.
