Simple and Ummissable Fried Rice
Fried Rice is just a quick and easy recipe. Fried rice is consider a bit of a 'mix all your leftover ingredients' recipe ! It is super cheap, especially if you use frozen veggies !
Soy sauce: This is not a very-well known fact, but soy sauce is not gluten free! So, be careful when making this dish for gluten intolerant people.
Rice: Leftover cooked rice is best for fried rice because the grains separate better and will get that cripsy edge more easily. But if you don't have any, don't worry ! You can simply rinse your rice with a lot of cold water once it is done cooking. You can also put it in your fridge or freezer for 15-20 min to help it cold down.
Veggies: The quickest and cheapest is to use frozen veggies! I like to take the mix pack that has carrots, broccoli, corn, pepper and green peas. Obviously, fresh vegetables work too. Just make sure to precook them !
Edamame beans: Those are optional, but if you turn out to have some they are a great addition. They are a great source of protein!
Eggs: The most traditional way to cook the eggs is with the rice on the same pan. However, I find the method to be challenging if you are not used to it it will give you big clumps. Thus, my trick is to cook them beforehand as an omelet!

As mentioned above, cooked leftover rice is best for this recipe. If you don’t have any, cook some and rinse it with a lot of cold water. Once done, add the rice to a pan with olive oil and sesame oil. Leave to fry for a 7-10 min until it becomes cripsy. Add the defrozed veggies and the soya sauce and mix well. Finally, add the precooked eggs. And voila ! It is ready to be served. Sesame seeds can be used for decoration here.
