  • 1 cup cooked rice white, brown, or jasmine
  • 2-3 large eggs
  • to taste green onions chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas or corn
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup spinach or leafy greens
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • to taste garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
  • to taste red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Take the cooked rice out of the fridge and break it up if clumpy.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add about a tablespoon of oil.
  3. Add the rice to the skillet, spreading it in an even layer and letting it sit for 1 minute to get crispy bits.
  4. Stir the rice for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  5. Push the rice to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until soft and fluffy, then mix into the rice.
  6. Add your choice of vegetables and protein, if using.
  7. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes to taste.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh green onions and optional toppings like sesame seeds.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the vegetable and protein options based on what you have on hand. This bowl works wonderfully with leftover ingredients; get creative with your add-ins. For meal prepping, cook the rice and vegetables in advance, and fry a fresh egg when ready to serve. If you prefer a fried egg, cook it separately and place it on top of the rice mixture. Customize seasonings to suit your taste; try different sauces or spices for variety.
