Leftover rice becomes an instant vegetarian main course with the addition of a few vegetables in this gingery fried rice. Use whatever vegetables you have hanging out in your crisper drawer—the wider variety of colors, the better.
3 teaspoons sesame oil, divided 2 large eggs, beaten 1 bunch scallions, chopped 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger 3 cups leftover rice (any kind) 1 cup fresh peas and carrots 1 cup mung bean sprouts – already cooked 3 tablespoons prepared stir-fry or oyster sauce
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a wok or large skillet over medium- high heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until scrambled. Transfer to a plate; set aside. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the wok. Add scallions and ginger and stir- fry until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add rice and vegetables and stir-fry until hot and beginning to stick to the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sprouts and stir-fry sauce (or oyster sauce). Toss well until heated through – about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
