Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots mix
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ginger powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Optional protein (e.g., cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or a sheet pan with vegetable oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked white rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetable oil. Stir until the rice is evenly coated and set aside.
If you're using an optional protein, ensure it is fully cooked, then cut it into bite-sized pieces and set it aside.
Spread the frozen peas and carrots mix evenly across the greased baking dish. Add the coated rice on top and gently mix the vegetables into the rice base.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the beaten eggs over the rice mixture, gently stirring to distribute them evenly.
Sprinkle garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper over the rice mixture. If using optional protein, stir it into the dish now.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Every 10 minutes, carefully stir the rice to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.
While the rice bakes, chop the green onions into thin slices. Save some for garnish if desired.
Once the rice is golden and lightly crispy on the edges, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Serve the oven fried rice hot, topped with freshly chopped green onions. Enjoy!
