  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 2 cups small to medium broccoli florets
  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 4 scallions, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper, to taste

Egg & Rice

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for veggies)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for eggs)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper (for eggs)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar until well combined.
  2. Cook the vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets, thawed edamame, peas, and sliced scallions. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to lightly char on one side. Then stir and sauté for another 2 minutes until the broccoli is crisp-tender. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Cook the eggs: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over low heat. Pour in the lightly beaten eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir gently until soft curds begin to form but eggs remain slightly runny.
  4. Add rice and sauce: Increase heat to medium, stir in the cooked brown rice and soy sauce mixture. Spread the rice evenly across the bottom of the pan and let it cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes. This step allows the rice grains touching the pan to crisp slightly, adding texture.
  5. Combine everything: Stir the sautéed broccoli, edamame, peas, and scallions back into the rice mixture. Cook together for a few more minutes until the entire dish is warmed through and flavors melded.

Notes

  • Using day-old cooked rice helps achieve better texture and prevents mushiness.
  • Feel free to substitute vegetables or add other proteins like tofu or chicken for variation.
  • Adjust soy sauce amount for preferred saltiness; low-sodium soy sauce is recommended.
  • For a vegan version, omit eggs or use a plant-based egg substitute.
  • Make sure to thaw frozen edamame and peas before cooking to ensure even cooking.
