How to make fried rice
Fried rice is generally made with with cold long grain white rice, however, if you want a healthier version use brown rice like we did. Rice needs to be cold so that it doesn’t get sticky or mushy. You can use leftovers from a previous meal, or make a fresh batch of rice and then refrigerate it until you are ready to use it. Begin by chopping all of the produce you’ll be adding.
You only need a single skillet for making this dish, which I love because there’s so much less to clean up later. Begin by adding sesame oil, the pepper and whites of the onion, along with ginger to the skillet. After a couple of minutes of stir-frying, push them to one side of the pan and add the egg. As it cooks, you can break it up into smaller pieces. Then you add the remaining ingredients and stir until heated through. Serve it immediately.
