Method

Rice Dishes

  1. 1

    Prepare rice and vegetables

    Spread the cooked rice on a flat tray to cool and dry for 10-15 minutes, breaking up any clumps. If using freshly cooked rice, allow steam to escape so it dries a bit before frying.

  2. 2

    Beat eggs

    Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat pan and aromatics

    Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Add minced garlic (and ginger if using) and sauté 20-30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Stir-fry vegetables

    Add broccoli, carrots, and green beans. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until just tender and bright in color.

  5. 5

    Scramble eggs

    Push vegetables to the side of the pan. Add eggs and scramble until just set, then mix with vegetables.

  6. 6

    Add rice and seasonings

    Stir in the cooked rice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and optional 1 tablespoon oyster sauce. Toss well to combine and fry for 4-5 minutes, breaking up any remaining rice clumps.

  7. 7

    Add tomatoes and cucumber

    Fold in cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices. Stir briefly to warm through while retaining some crunch.

  8. 8

    Finish and garnish

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze the lime wedge over the fried rice just before serving, and garnish with the wedge on the side.
