Method

Cooking Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Preparing Vegetables

  1. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    While the rice is cooking, chop the carrot, bell pepper, and green onion. Measure out the green peas.

Frying Rice

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the chopped carrots, bell peppers, and green peas, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

  3. 6

    Add Rice

    Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.

  4. 7

    Add Flavorings

    Pour the soy sauce over the rice and stir to evenly coat. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 8

    Add Eggs and Chicken (optional)

    If using, push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet, crack the eggs into the empty side, and scramble until fully cooked. Mix the scrambled eggs and cooked chicken into the rice.

  6. 9

    Final Mix

    Stir everything together thoroughly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
