Since the dish is prepared in just over half an hour, its an excellent idea for a quick lunch or dinner during the week. If desired, you can also add shrimp, pieces of meat, or tofu, but be careful not to overcook the vegetables, as their crunchiness ensures the great flavor of this popular Asian dish.

Ingredients

  • 300 g Rice, white, long grain

  • 3 spoons Oil, plant, sunflower

  • 200 g Onion, raw

  • 2 piece Bell pepper, red, fresh

  • 200 g Beans, fresh

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 3 pieces Egg, fresh

  • 50 ml Soy sauce, shoyu

  • pieces Sesame seeds, roasted

Steps

  1. In a large pot, bring about 2 liters of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, place the rice in a colander and rinse it thoroughly under running water. Salt the water with a tablespoon of salt, then add the rinsed rice to the pot and cook it over low heat for 13 to 15 minutes or as indicated on the packaging.

  2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Peel the onion and finely chop it. Wash the bell pepper, clean it (remove the stem and seeds), and cut it into pieces.

  3. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a wok or deep pan. Add the onion, peas, and bell pepper, and sauté the vegetables over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Season with a pinch of salt.

  4. Once the rice is cooked, drain it and rinse it under running water.

  5. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well with a fork.

  6. Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the pan. In the empty space, pour in a tablespoon of oil, then add the whisked eggs. Stir them with a spatula, and once they set, mix them with the sautéed vegetables.

  7. Add the cooked rice to the pan and mix it well with all the ingredients. Pour in the soy sauce and stir-fry everything for a little longer. Taste the rice and season it further if needed.

  8. Serve the fried rice on plates. Optionally, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top or add sliced green onion. Serve the prepared dish.
