Servings:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (Preferably day-old for best texture)
  • 1 cup salmon fillet (Skinless, cooked and flaked)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (Carrots, peas, and corn work well)

  • 1 green onion scallions (Sliced, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (Freshly ground)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Rice

    If using fresh rice, let it cool down completely.

    Day-old rice has the best texture for frying.
  2. Cook the Eggs

    Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil, and scramble the eggs until fully cooked.

    Remove eggs from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add sesame oil, garlic, and mixed vegetables. Sauté until vegetables are tender.

    Keep the heat medium-high to achieve a nice stir-fry.
  4. Add Rice and Salmon

    Add the cooked rice and flaked salmon to the skillet, mixing thoroughly.

    Break up any clumps of rice as you stir.
  5. Season the Mixture

    Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle black pepper, stirring well to combine all ingredients.

    Adjust soy sauce according to taste.
  6. Finish with Eggs

    Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet, and gently fold them into the rice mixture.

    Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
  7. Serve

    Garnish with sliced scallions and serve hot.

    Enjoy your dish with a side of soy sauce if desired.
