Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Wok: Get a bloody large wok or a heavy skillet on high heat. You want it hot, hot, hot! Add the sesame oil and let it sizzle.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic. Stir them around until they’re soft and fragrant—don’t burn them, or I’ll be coming for you!
- Add the Veggies: Throw in your mixed vegetables and give it a good stir. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they’re tender but still have some crunch.
- Fried Rice Time: Add the cooked rice to the pan. Break it up with your spatula and mix it all together. Pour in the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. Stir until everything is combined and heated through.
- Poach the Eggs: While the rice is cooking, fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully slide them into the water. Poach them for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Melt the Cheese: Once the rice is done, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top and cover the pan for a minute or two until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve It Up: Plate the fried rice and top each serving with a perfectly poached egg. Garnish with chopped green onions.
There you have it! A stunning plate of fried rice topped with a luscious poached egg and melted mozzarella that will impress anyone at your table. Remember, cooking is about passion and precision—don’t skimp on either! Enjoy your meal and get ready to hear some compliments!
