Description
This frozen veggie fried rice is a quick and flavorful weeknight meal packed with mixed vegetables, broccoli, fluffy rice, and scrambled eggs. Tossed in a savory soy-sesame sauce, it delivers takeout-style flavor in minutes.
Ingredients
- 12 ounce bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 12 ounce bag frozen petite broccoli
- 4 cups leftover rice
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat a flattop grill or griddle to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, sriracha, garlic powder, and water until combined.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to the grill and spread evenly. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and broccoli. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Push the vegetables to one side and add another 1/2 tablespoon oil to the empty space. Crack in the eggs and cook for about 1 minute before flipping.
- Add the rice over the vegetables and drizzle with the remaining oil. Toss the rice and vegetables together and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Cook the eggs on the second side for 30 to 60 seconds, then chop into bite-sized pieces and mix into the rice mixture.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the rice mixture and toss thoroughly. Continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is absorbed and some rice becomes crispy.
- Transfer the fried rice to serving bowls and serve hot.
Notes
- Cold leftover rice works best for fried rice because it crisps up better.
- Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
- Adjust the sriracha amount to make the dish milder or spicier.
- A large skillet or wok can be used if you do not have a flattop grill.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
