Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old, chilled for best texture)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn; frozen is fine)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (Kikkoman recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Optional: cooked shrimp or diced chicken
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s or Duke’s recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1–2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Chop onions, garlic, and green onions. Beat the eggs lightly. Prepare cooked protein if using. (About 5 minutes)
  2. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, rice vinegar, and water. Whisk until smooth. Adjust vinegar or spice levels to taste. Set aside. (5 minutes)
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat.
  4. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble gently until softly set but not dry. Remove eggs and set aside. (2-3 minutes)
  5. Add remaining oil to the pan. Sauté minced garlic and chopped onions for about 1 minute until fragrant and translucent.
  6. Stir in mixed vegetables and cook until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Add raw protein now if using and cook until heated.
  7. Add chilled rice to the pan. Break up clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, allowing some grains to toast slightly.
  8. Pour soy sauce evenly over rice and stir to combine. Add scrambled eggs and sliced green onions. Mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Spoon fried rice onto plates or bowls. Drizzle generously with creamy yum yum sauce or serve on the side for dipping. (1-2 minutes)

Notes

Use day-old rice chilled in the fridge to avoid mushiness. If using fresh rice, spread on a tray and chill for 15-20 minutes before frying. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking and toasted texture. Soft scramble eggs to keep them tender. Adjust vinegar and spice in yum yum sauce to taste. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. For dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based option.
