Leftover rice is basically lazy meal prep - OMGhee

I made red curry the other night and, as usual, cooked far too much rice.

Not because I'm incompetent at measuring rice.

I do it deliberately. 😂

Leftover rice is basically lazy meal prep. You've already done half the work, and tomorrow night's dinner can be whatever is lurking in the fridge, thrown into a hot pan with some OMGhee.

I actually had the perfect plan for mine.

Fried rice.

Cold jasmine rice, eggs, garlic, ginger, veggies, soy, chilli crisp and plenty of heat. Exactly the sort of easy weeknight dinner I love.

So naturally...

I made rice pudding instead. 😂

And while I regret absolutely nothing about the rice pudding, it did remind me that we hadn't put our Simple Fried Rice recipe on the website yet.

So here it is.

It's quick, flexible, brilliant for using up leftovers and a perfect example of why I call OMGhee a kitchen all-rounder.

No special “ghee food” required.

Just the food you already cook, made delicious.

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredients

4 cups cooked jasmine rice
3 tbsp ghee
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 cup carrots, finely diced
1 cup peas
1 cup corn kernels
3 spring onions, sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh coriander or spring onion, to garnish
Chilli crisp to garnish

Directions

Heat a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat and add ghee.
Add the beaten eggs and pan fry until just cooked, allowing the ghee to coat and enrich the eggs before removing them from the pan and cut into chunks.
Add more ghee and sauté the garlic, ginger, carrots, peas, and corn until softened and fragrant.
Add the rice and stir-fry over high heat, allowing the grains to become lightly toasted.
Return the cooked egg to the pan and add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
Toss everything together until evenly combined and heated through.
Finish with sliced spring onions, fresh coriander, and a final spoonful of melted ghee and chilli crisp stirred through before serving.
