Dr. Yum-Style Fried Rice

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

While preparing Yum Bowl components in the Project Kitchen for a community event, we discovered an entire container of cooked rice leftover from a baby food class. Using Dr. Yum's stir fry sauce, featured in Meal-o-Matic as the inspiration, we put together a quick take on fried rice. This recipe works great as a base for Yum Bowl, or as a main dish by adding a protein like tofu, eggs or chicken. Customize it with your own flavor profile and whatever veggies you have on hand. We hope you'll enjoy this Dr. Yum-Style fried rice!

Method

In a large skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic to pan and sauté until fragrant, about a minute. Add cooked rice; break up and spread out across the surface of the pan. Let rice cook, turning occasionally to get it toasty on all sides. Stir in mixed veggies and cook until warmed through. In a small bowl or jar, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water to make the sauce. Push rice and veggies toward the center of the wok and pour the sauce around the edges of the pan so it sizzles and heats quickly. Mix to incorporate sauce fully. Remove wok or skillet from heat and drizzle sesame oil over the rice, then mix to incorporate.

OPTIONAL scrambled eggs: After mixing the sauce into the rice mixture, Add 2-4 eggs to a small bowl and whisk to break up the yolks. Push rice mixture to the sides of the wok or skillet and add more oil to the center of the pan. Once oil is heated, pour in egg and scramble in the center of the pan. When egg is fully cooked, toss rice mixture and egg together to incorporate.
