An ideal way to give leftover rice new life, this generously seasoned dish is anything but boring. Tread carefully when choosing your preferred chili oil — some pack a serious amount of heat!
Step 1
Prepare rice according to package directions.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp garlic chili oil. Add garlic and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Push garlic and scallions to the side. Add eggs, scrambling until just set. Stir in mixed vegetables and cook for 2 minutes. Add rice, breaking up clumps. Stir-fry for 4 minutes, letting it crisp slightly.
Step 4
Pour in soy sauce and an extra 1 tbsp garlic chili oil. Toss well to coat. Drizzle with sesame oil, if using, and stir in green parts of scallions. Serve hot.
