How to Make Vegetable Fried Rice in an Electric Skillet (Step-by-Step)
1. First. Heat the Skillet: Set your electric skillet to 350°F. Add oil and swirl to coat the surface.
2. Then. Sauté Veggies: Add peas and carrots. Sauté for 2 minutes until tender.
3. Next. Scramble Eggs: Push veggies to the side. Pour eggs into the empty space and scramble until just set.
4. After that. Fry the Rice: Add the cold rice. Break up clumps with a spatula. Fry for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice smells toasted.
5. Then. Season: Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
6. Finally. Garnish: Turn off the skillet, stir in green onions, and serve immediately.
Pro Tips & Storage
• Use Cold Rice: Day-old rice is essential; fresh rice will turn mushy.
• Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Microwave with a teaspoon of water or toss back into the skillet at 300°F.
