Jasmine Fried Rice

Simple Jasmine Fried Rice (Quick & Easy)

This Jasmine Fried Rice is my go-to for using up leftover steamed jasmine rice from the day before. It's quick, easy, and super versatile. Adding a bit of Chinese chili oil (Lao Gan Ma) gives it a delicious kick that makes it even better.

Ingredients

  • 3 cup steamed Jasmine rice (one-day-old chilled rice works best)
  • ½ tbsp cooking oil (to mix with rice)
  • ½ cup diced sausages (ham, cooked chicken...)
  • ½ cup canned/cooked veggies (drained)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • Soy sauce (fish sauce, chicken powder) (to your taste)
  • Chili oil (optional) (to your taste)
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  • Cut the protein and veggies into small pieces.
  • Toss the jasmine rice with cooking oil.
  • In a skillet, heat some cooking oil and sauté minced garlic until it turns fragrant. Optionally, fry the sausages, ham, or Chả Lụa until crispy.
  • Add the cooked rice and fry it over medium-high heat. Add any other proteins you have. Season with soy sauce, fish sauce, chicken powder, and chili oil to taste.
  • Add the diced veggies or bean sprouts, if using. Toss everything together and cook until the rice dries out and crisps up.
  • Season the fried rice to taste, and enjoy!
