Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Crack eggs into a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Massage rice in package to break up grains; open package and add soy sauce. Set aside until ready to use in Step 3.
- Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, cabbage and carrot mix and edamame. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are browned and just tender, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
- In pan used for veggies, heat a large drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add soy sauce-seasoned rice, eggs and half the sesame seeds to pan, then gently press into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until rice starts to crisp and eggs start to set, 1-2 minutes.
- Return veggies to pan and add umami ginger sauce. Cook, mixing everything together and breaking up eggs, until hot and evenly coated in sauce, 1-2 minutes. Divide fried rice between bowls and top with scallion greens, remaining sesame seeds and as much spicy mayo as you like. Serve.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy rice, let it cook undisturbed until you hear a sizzle before stirring.
If you don’t have umami ginger sauce, substitute with a mix of soy sauce, grated ginger and a splash of rice vinegar.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for more color and crunch.
FAQ
Can I use leftover rice instead of microwavable rice?
Yes, leftover rice works great. Use about 2 cups of cooked rice and skip the soy sauce addition in step 1-just stir it in later.
Is there a substitute for spicy mayo?
Mix 3 tablespoons mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon sriracha or your favorite hot sauce to make your own spicy mayo.
Can I make this dish vegan?
To make it vegan, omit the eggs and use a vegan egg substitute or extra edamame. Also, ensure your spicy mayo and umami ginger sauce are vegan-friendly.
