Instructions:
Cook the Rice:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice and add it to the saucepan with 1 3/4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and tender. Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and set it aside.
Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, frozen green peas, and chopped bell peppers. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set them aside.
Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Combine the Rice and Vegetables:
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the sautéed aromatics. Toss everything together to ensure the rice is well-coated with the flavours.
Season the Rice:
- Pour the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using) over the rice and vegetables. Mix well to evenly distribute the sauces. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
Finish with Flair:
- Finally, drizzle the sesame oil over the fried rice and give it one last good toss. The sesame oil adds a delightful aroma and enhances the overall flavour of the dish.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Divide the Veg Fried Rice into two plates or bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve it hot, and you and your partner can now enjoy this delicious, homemade meal together!
