Ingredients
Fried Rice
- 1 ½ cups rice rinsed 2x
- 3 cups water
- 3 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
Vegetables
- 1 cup onion small diced
- 1 cup carrots thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
- 4 large button mushrooms sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
Other Ingredients Needed
- As Needed spicy sauce See Notes
- As Needed large eggs I recommend 2 per serving
- As Needed green onions sliced for garnish
- As Needed sesame seeds for garnish
- As Needed sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon butter for cooking the rice, the second time
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a medium pot add the rinsed rice, water, soy sauce, butter and oil. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the rice has puffed up and there is not any water visible. Take off of the heat and allow to set until warm.
- Spread out onto a sheet tray, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Preferably overnight.
- When the rice has been chilled and is ready to cook, place a large skillet over medium heat add in olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the mushrooms and onions. Once the mushrooms and onions are browned, remove from the pan, add in 1 tablespoon of butter, add in the broccoli and carrots, season with garlic powder and a drizzle of soy sauce. Sauté for about 6 minutes. Adding more oil if needed. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add butter and a drizzle of sesame oil to the pan. Add in the cold rice and stir until all of the rice is coated in the oil and the clumps are broken apart. Cook the rice, stirring every few minutes, season with additional salt and pepper. Add the vegetables back to the pan, stir to combine.
- Turn the heat down to medium low, stir in the spicy sauce, starting with 2 tablespoons, cook for 1 minute, taste and add more until you reach your desired spice level.
- Fry the eggs however you like. I highly recommend over easy or even sunny side up. The runny yolk really adds great texture and flavor to the rice. Portion and top each portion with fried eggs. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion. Enjoy!
