  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Rice and Broth

  • 1 Cup jasmine rice
  • 1 ¾ Cups vegetable broth

Vegetables and Eggs

  • ½ Tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Cup carrots, cut into thin matchsticks
  • 1 Cup sugar snap peas
  • 2 Cups broccoli florets
  • ½ Cup beansprouts
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Sauce

  • ¾ Cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 Teaspoons mirin
  • 2 Teaspoons hot chili oil
  • 2 Teaspoons ginger, minced
  • 2 Teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • Pinch white pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Add vegetable broth to a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Add the jasmine rice, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: While the rice cooks, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, hot chili oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, and a pinch of white pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Vegetables: Heat canola oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add bean sprouts, chopped green onions, broccoli florets, carrot matchsticks, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Push the vegetables to the sides of the wok to make space for cooking the eggs.
  4. Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the center of the wok. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, then stir them together with the vegetables.
  5. Combine Everything: Add the fluffy cooked jasmine rice into the wok with the veggies and eggs. Stir-fry together for 3 to 4 minutes to combine and heat through. Pour in the prepared soy sauce mixture and continue stir-frying for an additional 3 minutes so the rice evenly absorbs the flavors.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot as a main dish or side.

Notes

  • Use jasmine rice for the most authentic texture and flavor.
  • Ensure vegetables are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Adjust chili oil amount to your preferred spice level.
  • Stir-frying on medium heat helps keep vegetables crisp.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce to control overall saltiness.
  • Mirin adds a subtle sweetness and depth to the sauce.
  • For added protein, consider adding diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
