AN EASY VEGETABLE FRIED RICE RECIPE – BETTER THAN TAKEOUT
Sure, at the end of a long day at work or school, it can be liberating to swing by your favorite spot for takeout – or order delivery. But, hey… not every day!
There’s just nothing better than home-cooked goodness on the dinner table.
The good news is, we’ve got a rice cooker recipe that mimics the flavors of the best takeout fried rice you might order from your neighborhood Chinese restaurant. And since you’ll be using your rice cooker for this simple and delicious recipe, you’ll be cooking with the press of a button!
WHAT IS RICE COOKER FRIED RICE?
Now the term fried is a bit of a misnomer here. While we are using typical fried rice ingredients in this veggie rice recipe, there’s no actual frying going on at all. Soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, scallions and your choice of vegetables all deliver on the flavor profile of a takeout style fried rice – but since it’s all cooking together in the inner pot of your rice cooker, there’s no need to break out the wok or a glug of cooking oil to enjoy those iconic fried rice flavors.
Think of this recipe as a cross between a Chinese vegetable fried rice and a Japanese takikomi gohan. And it’s so easy to make!
HOW TO MAKE FRIED RICE IN A RICE COOKER
With multiple cooking presets, your Tiger rice cooker is the perfect kitchen appliance to rely on whether you’re simply cooking perfect rice – or stepping outside the box to make something like gyudon (a Japanese beef bowl) or an impossibly luxurious Chinese braised pork belly.
Just load all your ingredients (EXCEPT for your frozen peas and scrambled eggs) into the inner pot of your multi-functional rice cooker. When you select the Mixed setting and press the Start button, your work is practically done.
Just before serving you’ll fold in your scrambled eggs and peas and let it sit for a few minutes.
It’s the perfect takeout-fakeout! Trust us, you’re going to LOVE the delicious outcome.
