Ingredients

2 cups cooked jasmine rice day old (if you want to use same day cooked rice, see Notes for further instructions)
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (like green peas, carrots, corn, green beans and/or lima beans)
1 green onion finely chopped with scallion greens separated from whites
3 cloves garlic minced
2 large eggs beaten
2 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
1.5 tablespoon regular soy sauce
½ tablespoon dark soy sauce
½ tablespoon sesame oil toasted
⅛ teaspoon white pepper or sub with black pepper

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Fry scallion whites and garlic until fragrant, about 10 seconds.
Toss in broccoli florets and mixed vegetables and fry for 1-2 minutes until vibrant in color. Push everything to the side of the pan.
Add remaining tablespoon oil into empty space, followed by beaten eggs. Scramble eggs and break into small pieces. Move everything to the side.
Toss in day-old rice, regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper and stir-fry until rice is colored brown.
Toss in scallion greens and remove off heat. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

How much uncooked rice do I need for this recipe?

¾ measuring cup of 150 grams to make 2 cups cooked rice.

To dry out same-day cooked rice:

Lay out warm cooked rice in a single layer on a large baking sheet
Place the baking sheet in the freezer, uncovered for 60 minutes so the cold air can dry out the rice
Once the rice is cold and drier, pour ½ teaspoon of neutral oil in the palm of your hands and rub together. This prevents the rice from sticking to your hands.
Break the rice apart into separate granules
