Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Jasmine rice
- 2.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for fluffier rice.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2.5 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
Once cooked, spread the rice onto a baking sheet to cool quickly. This can be done a day ahead for best results.
In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then pour them into the pan and scramble until just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir in the diced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are heated through.
Stir in the cooled rice and fry for 5 minutes, tossing frequently, until everything is evenly distributed.
Add back the scrambled eggs to the rice mixture and gently fold them in.
Pour the low sodium soy sauce over the rice and sprinkle with garlic powder and ground white pepper. Toss the rice to coat evenly.
Add the sesame oil for flavor and toss again. Stir in the sliced green onions just before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low sodium hibachi fried rice!
