Tools and Equipment
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preparing the Ingredients
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger. Having these elements ready beforehand will make the cooking process seamless and enjoyable.
2. Cooking the Rice
If you haven't already prepared the rice the day before, you can cook it using a rice cooker. Day-old rice is preferable for this recipe as it has a firmer texture and wont become too mushy during stir-frying.
3. Stir-Frying
Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up. Add the diced onion and saut until translucent. Follow this by adding the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently to prevent burning and to release their fragrant aromas.
4. Adding Vegetables
Add the mixed vegetables to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to cook through while maintaining their vibrant colors and slight crunch.
5. Cooking the Eggs
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them back into the vegetables.
6. Incorporating the Rice
Now is the moment to add the cooked rice into the pan. Break up any clumps and ensure the rice is evenly distributed with the vegetables and eggs. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture and continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring all flavors are well combined.
7. Finishing Touches
Finish off by adding the chopped green onions. Give a final toss to distribute them evenly, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
