Ingredients and Customization

• The real secret to awesome fried rice is in the ingredients. You’ll need:

• 1 to 2 cups of cooked rice (cold, day-old is good)

• Carrots, peas, onions (shallots and green ones of course)

• Meat (chicken, shrimp or tofu)

• Eggs

• Soy sauce or tamari

• Sesame oil

• Salt and pepper

Of course, you can go ahead and add any of your leftover whatever to this fried rice. Fried rice is great because it adapts to almost any leftovers that you need to use up.

The Best Fried Rice Recipe Step-by-Step

Cut it Up: Chop up your vegetables and protein of choice into small, even pieces. Have all of the ingredients prepped and ready to go (these turtles move fast!) before you start cooking.

Sear the hell out of your protein: In a large pan or wok, saute some oil over medium-high heat. Chop your protein and cook to medium. Take out of the pan and leave to one side.

Peppers and Onions: If you want to serve sautéed peppers & onions with your steak, add them after the garlic just begins to brown.

Fold in Scrambled Eggs: In the large skillet or wok (scrape out any bits of veggies if you need to), push vegetables aside. When eggs are done, add them to the cooked veggies and sauté.

Mix it all: Add cold rice and fluff the cooked rice to avoid a lumpy texture. Add the protein and cooked, soy sauce, sesame oil & season with/ salt and pepper Mix well and saute until mixed thoroughly.

Garnish with Green Onions + Last Step — top these bowls with green onions for a fresh finish.

Tips for Perfection

The worst thing is uncooked to cook, you can have some mushy fried rice.

• This will give your chicken breasts that uber-crispy golden brown fried flavor, and don’t worry about turning on the heat!

• Stir in the pan frequently to avoid burning and even cooking.

• In case you need to switch it up, here are our creative variations and serving suggestions

I always feel that once you have the basic formula down, vary and combine it to your liking. Experiment with other veggies and consider bell peppers, or broccoli instead of bean sprouts Swap oyster sauce for depth. Your side of fried rice, served with a veggie stir fry or salad is the perfect way to complete this meal.
