Method
Rice Dishes
- 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
Beat eggs
Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and set aside.
- 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
Stir-fry vegetables
Add broccoli, carrots, and green beans. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until just tender and bright in color.

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

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.
