  • 1/4 cup finely diced onions
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables fresh or frozen (thawed first)
  • 3 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 4 cups cooked day-old rice, chilled and clumps separated
  • 2-1/2 -3 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce can substitute with gluten free tamari or coconut aminos for paleo-friendly version
  • 1-1/2 - 2 teaspoons fish sauce or vegan fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mirin Shaoxing wine or dry sherry can also be used in a pinch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Optional:

  • Sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil on high heat in a large wok or non-stick pan until smoky hot. Toss in the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 10 seconds. Add garlic, ginger, and onions and stir-fry for another minute or 2 until fragrant and onions have softened up. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Return pan to stove and add another 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble into small pieces until cooked. (Add in cooked meat if using and saute for another minute).
  3. Stir in the rice and break up any large chunks with a spatula while tossing until heated through around 2 minutes.
  4. Drizzle in soy sauce, fish sauce, mirin and sesame oil, tossing to combine everything evenly. Keep stirring the fried rice until slightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked vegetables back to the pan and toss to combine. Add salt, black pepper, red chili flakes or even Sriracha to taste.
  5. Transfer to bowls and serve hot and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
