Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the frozen mixed vegetables into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of water and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through. Drain any excess water and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a separate microwave-safe bowl. Beat them with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Microwave the eggs on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until the eggs are cooked and scrambled. Set aside.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add the cooked rice. Use a fork to break up any clumps so the rice is evenly separated.
To the rice, add the cooked vegetables, scrambled eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plate and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the entire mixture is heated through and steaming.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot). Stir the fried rice again to fluff it up.
Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions on top for a fresh burst of flavor.
