Spicy Fried Rice Recipe

Rice Dishes

1. 1

   Prep and separate rice

   Spread the cold cooked jasmine rice on a tray and fluff with a fork to separate clumps; beat eggs in a small bowl and set aside.

2. 2

   Scramble eggs

   Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble until just set. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook aromatics

   Add remaining oil to the wok. Add minced garlic and diced onion; stir-fry 30–45 seconds until fragrant and the onion starts to soften.

4. 4

   Stir-fry vegetables

   Add bell pepper, carrot, green peas, and fresh green chili. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.

5. 5

   Add rice and mix

   Add the separated rice to the wok. Break up any remaining clumps and toss with the vegetables until evenly heated.

6. 6

   Season

   Stir in soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Sprinkle white pepper and salt; toss to coat the rice evenly.

7. 7

   Finish

   Return scrambled eggs to the wok. Drizzle with sesame oil and fold in torn basil leaves. Cook 1–2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

8. 8

   Serve

   Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra basil.
