Fried Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and ensure the cooked rice is cooled to prevent clumping.

  2. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken or beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the chopped onion, red and green bell peppers, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine. Add the cooked chicken or beef back into the skillet.

  5. 5

    Season the Fried Rice

    Pour in the soy sauce, and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh basil leaves and mix everything together until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy your Basil Fried Rice!
