Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked rice (*see notes) or about 3 cups cooked rice
For the Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 ½ Tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 Teaspoon sugar
For the stir fry:
- 2 Tablespoons oil
- 1 Tablespoons Ginger + Garlic *see Notes
- 1-2 pieces green onions aka spring onion
- 1 cup mixed carrots and peas carrot cut into matchsticks
- 2 eggs
- 3.5 ounces protein of your choice *see Notes
Instructions
- First, have your rice cooked and ready. If you don't have leftover rice, cook your rice al dente (to the bite), that way when you plan on stir-frying the rice it won't turn soggy.
- Keep all your ingredients ready. Mix the sauce ingredient together and keep aside. Cut the carrot into matchsticks. Clean and/or cut your protein into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat up a large skillet or wok with the oil and stir cook the sliced green onion bulbs with the ginger + garlic (or substitute with garlic butter).
- Add the carrot and peas and stir cook for a minute on high heat.
- Make space in your pan (see video) and break in the eggs. Scramble, cook and break the eggs. Mix and stir cook everything quickly.
- Make space again and add your protein. In the video, I used chicken pieces. Stir cook on all side on high heat for a minute and mix everything together.
- Now add in your cooked rice and pour your stir fry sauce over the rice. Mix and stir cook everything for a minute or two until everything is cooked and well combined. Use high heat and don't over mix because it shouldn't get mushy.
- Garnish with fresh sliced green onion stalks. Serve hot.

Notes
- Use preferably 1-day old leftover rice because that will be fridge dried crispy and your fried rice won't turn soggy.
- You can use Asian short or long grain rice, whichever you prefer. I like to use Basmati or Japanese short grain rice because that's what I have in my pantry most of the time.
- You can use freshly chopped ginger and garlic or a ginger and garlic paste. I used the latter because it mixes in better.
- You may substitute the garlic and ginger with garlic butter to prepare a benihana copycat fried rice.
- The protein of your choice can be chicken, tofu, shrimp (prawns), calamari (squid) or beef.
