Breakfast Fried Rice is a quick, comforting, and savory skillet meal made with fluffy rice, scrambled eggs, crisp vegetables, and simple seasonings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked rice, cold (preferably day-old)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, bell peppers, or corn)
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken or turkey sausage, diced (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Spinach or kale
  • Extra eggs
  • Sesame oil (a few drops for flavor)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil or butter. Add eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Cook vegetables for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender. Add sausage if using and cook until warmed through.
  3. Add cold rice to the skillet. Spread it out and let cook undisturbed for 1 minute to develop light crispness. Stir and cook for 3–4 minutes.
  4. Add soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well. Return scrambled eggs to the pan and gently combine.
  5. Stir in green onions and cook for 1 more minute. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
