  • 2 tbsp Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil (Get it here)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp green onions, chopped (optional garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are prepped and ready. Use chilled, day-old rice to prevent clumping during stir-frying.

Step 2: Heat the Wok

Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs, scrambling them until just set. Remove the eggs and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté Aromatics

In the same wok, add 1 tbsp of Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil. Toss in the minced garlic and diced onions, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Step 4: Cook Vegetables

Add the mixed vegetables to the wok and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until tender.

Step 5: Combine Ingredients

Push the vegetables to one side of the wok. Add the remaining Chili Crisp Oil and the cooked rice. Stir-fry the rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the flavorful oil.

Step 6: Add Seasoning

Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 7: Incorporate Eggs

Return the scrambled eggs to the wok, breaking them into smaller pieces as you mix them with the rice.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.

Tips for the Perfect Chili Crisp Fried Rice

  1. Use Day-Old Rice: Freshly cooked rice can be too sticky. Refrigerate your rice overnight for best results.
  2. Adjust the Heat Level: Add more Chili Crisp Oil if you love extra heat and crunch.
  3. Customize Vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite veggies or protein, like shrimp or chicken.
