Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Jasmine Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, using a rice cooker or stovetop method. Once cooked, spread the rice on a baking sheet to cool and prevent clumping.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Veggie Medley

    While the rice is cooling, prepare the veggie medley. Dice the carrot and bell pepper, and chop the green onions and garlic. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Stir-fry the Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic and white parts of the green onions to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add the Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the frozen peas and stir-fry for an additional minute.

  4. 6

    Add the Rice

    Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the cooled jasmine rice to the other side. Stir-fry the rice for about 2-3 minutes, breaking up any clumps.

  5. 7

    Add the Flavorings

    Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice and mix everything together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Create a well in the center of the rice.

  6. 8

    Scramble the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the well and scramble them gently until fully cooked, then mix them into the rice and vegetable mixture.

  7. 9

    Final Stir-fry

    Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.

Serving

  1. 10
