Tips
Use day-old cooked rice for better texture and to prevent clumping.
Keep all ingredients prepped before cooking to manage quick cooking times.
Good to Know
Refrigerate leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat gently in skillet or microwave, adding splash of water if needed.
Prep vegetables and mince ginger and chili peppers up to 1 day ahead. Rice must be cooked in advance.
Serve immediately while rice is warm and vegetables are crisp-tender.
Common Mistakes
Do not use freshly cooked hot rice or it will clump when stir-fried; use cooled or day-old rice.
Do not overcook the vegetable mixture or broccoli will become mushy; steam only 3-4 minutes.
Do not skip folding eggs gently into rice or they will break apart too much.
