Chinese · Main course · 20 min total

A quick and flavorful fried rice without eggs, perfect for a simple weeknight dinner using leftover rice and common vegetables.

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked and chilled white rice (preferably day-old)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/2 cup diced firm tofu (optional, for protein)

Instructions

1. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
2. Add diced carrot and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add frozen peas and cook for another minute.
3. Add minced garlic and white parts of green onions; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the cold rice, breaking up any clumps. Spread it in an even layer and let it sear for 1 minute without stirring.
5. Stir-fry the rice, tossing frequently, for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.
6. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, add white pepper, and toss to combine evenly.
7. If using tofu, add diced tofu and stir-fry for 1 minute.
8. Remove from heat, sprinkle with remaining green onion tops, and serve immediately.

Tips

• For best results, use cold leftover rice to prevent mushiness.
• Add other vegetables like bell peppers, corn, or edamame as desired.
• For a vegan version, ensure soy sauce is tamari or use coconut aminos.
