Ingredients

• 300 grams of leftover cooked rice
• 30 ml teriyaki sauce
• 100 grams of sliced bell peppers
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 75 grams of broccoli florets
• 30 ml soy sauce
• 15 ml sesame oil
• 50 grams of shredded carrot
• 2 grams of ginger (ground)
• 2 grams of cumin
• 2 grams of chili powder

Method

• Heat a wok or a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
• Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
• Stir in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and shredded carrot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
• Sprinkle in the ground ginger, cumin, and chili powder, and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
• Add the leftover cooked rice to the pan, breaking apart any clumps and mixing well with the vegetables and spices.
• Pour in the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce, stirring well to ensure the rice and vegetables are evenly coated.
• Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
• Remove from heat and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or chives for a burst of freshness.

Tips

• For a slight twist, add a handful of sunflower seeds or chopped chives for additional texture and flavor.
• Ensure the rice is slightly dry or day-old to achieve the best texture for the fried rice.
• Adjust the seasoning to taste, and add a splash of Sriracha if you prefer a spicier kick.
