Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add frozen vegetables and stir constantly until they start to soften, 2–3 minutes. They should release steam.

  3. Step 3

    Push vegetables to the sides. Crack eggs into the center and scramble, breaking yolks, until mostly set, 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Add rice and soy sauce. Toss everything together, breaking up rice clumps, until rice is heated through, 2–3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and add salt or pepper as needed. Serve immediately while hot.

Tools you’ll need

  • large skillet or 12-inch wok
