Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 4 hot dogs sliced into half coins
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 1/2 cups cooked white rice chilled
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 3 large eggs lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil optional
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it softens, around 4-5 minutes.
- Add the sliced hotdogs and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the hotdogs start to brown and become fragrant.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add the rice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the veggies are heated through.
- Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan. Add ½ tablespoon of olive oil to the bare side of the pan, then add the beaten eggs. Lightly scramble the eggs until almost cooked. Combine the rice and eggs.
- Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve warm, garnished with sliced green onions and hot sauce if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Reheat in a skillet with a dash of oil or in the microwave.
Adding the sesame oil at the end is optional but highly recommended. The sesame oil adds an additional layer of depth and flavor to the dish.
Ensure your rice is thoroughly chilled before making this dish. Freshly cooked rice does not hold its shape and will become mushy. I recommend using 1-2 day-old cooked rice.
You do not need to thaw the vegetables before adding them to the fried rice. They will heat through just fine from frozen.
