Fried Rice

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering and preparing all the ingredients needed for your fried rice recipe. This typically includes cooked rice (preferably leftover rice that has been chilled), chopped vegetables, diced meat or tofu, beaten eggs, and seasonings such as soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.

Stir-Fry Ingredients: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Add the vegetables and any raw meat or tofu to the pan and stir-fry until cooked through. Push the cooked ingredients to the side of the pan and add the beaten eggs to the empty space. Scramble the eggs until cooked, then mix them together with the other ingredients in the pan.

Add Rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice with the other ingredients, breaking up any remaining clumps and ensuring that everything is well mixed.

Season to Taste: Season the fried rice with soy sauce, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Continue stir-frying until everything is evenly coated and heated through.

Serve: Once the fried rice is hot and well seasoned, remove it from the heat and transfer it to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, or sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.
