Save to Pinterest A quick and flavorful fried rice featuring frozen mixed vegetables, fluffy eggs, and savory soy sauce—perfect for a healthy, satisfying meal in minutes.
I first made this frozen veggie fried rice for a busy weeknight when I needed something quick but still nourishing. It quickly became a staple, loved for its simplicity and taste.
Ingredients
- Rice: 2 cups cooked and chilled white rice (preferably day-old)
- Vegetables: 1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables (e.g. peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- Eggs: 2 large eggs
- Aromatics: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 green onions (sliced, optional)
- Seasonings & Sauces: 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use low sodium if preferred), 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Garnish (optional): Sesame seeds, extra sliced green onions
Instructions
- Sauté Garlic:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Cook Vegetables:
- Add frozen mixed vegetables to the pan. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until heated through.
- Scramble Eggs:
- Push vegetables to one side of the pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the empty side, then crack in the eggs. Scramble eggs gently, cooking until just set.
- Add Rice:
- Add the cold cooked rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps and mix everything together.
- Season:
- Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice. Season with black pepper. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, ensuring the rice is hot and well-coated in sauce.
- Finish:
- Add sliced green onions, if using, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and extra green onions if desired.
