Big Batch Fried Rice

“The ultimate fridge-clearing meal. A massive batch ensures easy, reheat-able meals for days.”

1Ingredients

4 cups cooked, cold, day-old white rice
2 cups diced cooked protein (chicken, pork, shrimp, or tofu)
1 bag (12 oz) frozen peas and carrots
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil, divided
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

2Instructions

1

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a very large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beaten eggs and quickly scramble them. Remove eggs to a plate.

2

Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Add chopped onion and frozen peas and carrots. Sauté 4–5 minutes until vegetables are tender.

3

Add minced garlic and your chosen cooked protein. Cook 1 minute until heated through.

4

Push vegetables and meat to the side of the pan. Add final 1 tbsp oil to the empty space, then add cold rice.

5

Use a spatula to break up rice clumps, tossing it with the vegetables. Let rice sit undisturbed 1 minute to get slightly crispy.

6

Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Return scrambled eggs to the pan. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Pro Tip

You absolutely must use cold, day-old rice. Fresh, warm rice contains too much moisture and will turn your fried rice into a mushy porridge.
