Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions and let it cool. For best results, use day-old rice.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    Chop the carrots, cabbage, broccoli, and white onions into small, uniform pieces. Dice the tomatoes and finely chop the green onions. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds for serving.

  3. 3

    Prepare Protein

    If using meat, cut it into small pieces. If using eggs, beat them in a bowl.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 5

    Cook Protein

    If using meat, add it to the hot oil and stir-fry until fully cooked. If using eggs, pour the beaten eggs into the wok and scramble until just set. Remove protein from the wok and set aside.

  3. 6

    Stir-Fry Vegetables

    In the same wok, add the chopped onions, carrots, cabbage, and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

  4. 7

    Add Rice and Seasonings

    Add the cooled rice to the wok along with the soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and fry for another 3-5 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through.

  5. 8

    Combine All Ingredients

    Return the cooked protein to the wok and add the diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. Stir everything together for another 2 minutes until well mixed.

  6. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the fried rice to serving plates and garnish with sliced cucumber. Enjoy your Vegetable Fried Rice!
