Ingredients

The Rice:

  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 ½ cup rice cooked
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • ½ carrot diced
  • ½ cup corn
  • ½ cup frozen edamame
  • 1 tbsp green onions thinly sliced

The Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • pinch of fresh black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet on MED-HIGH. Add the vegetable oil. Pour in the beaten eggs, cook, and stir until scrambled. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet add garlic and carrots and saute until soft. Add the other vegetables, stir, and cook until hot.
  • Add the cooked rice to the vegetables and stir fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add the soy sauce and season with the black pepper.
  • Add the eggs back to the skillet and combine well with the rice and vegetables. Transfer the vegetable fried rice to plates and garnish with lime wedges. Enjoy hot!

Notes

  • If you have only fresh cooked rice on hand, you can spread the rice on a tray and allow it a few minutes to cool down or simply place it in the fridge for a few minutes. The surface moisture will evaporate and you can use the rice immediately.
