Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old, white or brown)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for depth of flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  2. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until just cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté onions and garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add carrots, broccoli, and corn. Cook for 3–4 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
  5. Stir in peas and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir to combine and break up any clumps.
  7. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan.
  8. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
  9. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use chilled, day-old rice for best texture.
  • Customize with your favorite vegetables or add tofu for extra protein.
  • Make it vegan by omitting eggs and oyster sauce.
