Description

This Simple Fried Rice recipe is a quick and delicious meal that combines fluffy scrambled eggs, tender mixed vegetables, and perfectly cooked rice, all stir-fried with savory soy sauce and a unique Onion Onion™ seasoning blend. Ready in minutes, it’s a comforting and satisfying dish perfect for any day of the week.


Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs, beaten (seasoned with salt and pepper as desired)

Rice and Vegetables

  • 3 cups cooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 cup frozen peas & carrots, thawed

Seasoning and Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1½ tablespoons Onion Onion™ Seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)


Instructions

  1. Scramble the Eggs: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and stir slowly and continuously with a rubber spatula until the eggs are fully set, about 1 to 2 minutes. Once cooked, remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set them aside.
  2. Stir-Fry the Vegetables and Rice: Increase the skillet heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and allow it to heat. Add the cooked rice, thawed peas and carrots, soy sauce, Onion Onion™ Seasoning, and the optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir-fry the mixture continuously until everything is heated through, approximately 3 to 4 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with seasoning.
  3. Combine Everything: Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and break them up as you mix thoroughly with the rice and vegetable mixture, blending all flavors together evenly.
  4. Serve: Serve the fried rice immediately while it is hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute olive oil with any neutral oil such as vegetable or canola oil.
  • For a protein boost, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste for saltiness preference.
  • Use day-old rice for better texture; freshly cooked rice may become mushy.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or corn for added color and nutrients.
