Ingredients
-
2 cups cooked rice (day-old rice works best)
-
3 Happy Eggs, beaten
-
1–2 tsp Dan-O’s Crunchy Seasoning
-
1 tbsp sesame oil (or avocado oil)
-
½ cup diced onions
-
½ cup frozen peas
-
3 scallions, inner white part chopped, green parts saved for garnish
-
2 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tsp chili oil
Directions
-
Prep the Rice: If you haven’t already, cook your rice and let it cool (overnight is ideal). Break up any clumps before cooking to get that perfect fried rice texture.
-
Heat Things Up: Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add sesame oil, followed by the onions and scallion whites. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
-
Add the Veggies: Toss in the peas and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
-
Combine the Rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan with the veggies, stirring to combine.
-
Season Generously: Sprinkle Dan-O’s Crunchy Seasoning over the rice and stir well to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
-
Cook the Eggs: Make a well in the rice and pour in the beaten Happy Eggs. Stir them with a spatula until fully cooked, then mix everything together.
-
Finish with Soy Sauce: Add soy sauce to taste and stir to combine. For extra crispy fried rice, let it cook undisturbed for another 5 minutes.
-
Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped scallion greens, drizzle with chili oil, and serve hot!
Tips for the Perfect Fried Rice
-
Day-Old Rice is Key: Fresh rice can be too sticky. Letting it chill overnight ensures the grains stay separate and crisp up beautifully.
-
Customize It: Throw in some diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a protein boost, or experiment with extra veggies like carrots, bell peppers, or broccoli.
-
Go Extra Crispy: Love crispy fried rice? Leave it on the heat for a few extra minutes without stirring to achieve that golden, toasty texture.
-
Make it Spicy: Add extra chili oil or a dash of your favorite hot sauce for a kick of heat.
