Looking for a simple meal? Look no further. This one-pot fried rice came out amazing, and it was so easy to make! I used Minute Rice that I cooked in the microwave for added convenience and you wouldn't be able to tell if I didn't tell you. Other than buying some frozen veggies and soy sauce, everything you need to make this dish should be a pantry staple. Let's get into the details!
Note: This recipe yields four servings, which is great for leftovers or to share! You can easily half this recipe if desired.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 8 ounces frozen peas and carrots
- 3 ounces frozen onions
- 2 eggs, scrambled
- 4 cups of cooked rice (if you opt for Minute Rice, microwave 2 cups of rice with 2 cups of water and let sit for at least 5 minutes after cooking)
- 5-6 tablespoons soy sauce (or to taste)
- cracked pepper to taste (optional)
Directions
Step 1: Melt butter in a pot at medium-high heat, adding in the garlic.
Step 2: Add in frozen peas, carrots, and onions. Cook for about a minute (or until they're no longer frozen/cold) and stir to combine.
Step 3: Pour the scrambled eggs over the vegetable mix. Fold the egg in and allow it to cook fully, lightly scrambling it with the vegetables. This should take about a minute and a half.
If desired, add cracked black pepper on top of the eggs for extra flavor.
Step 4: Evenly distribute the vegetable and egg mixture in the pot and pour the rice on top. Flatten the rice and top with soy sauce, using a generous amount to coat the rice evenly.
Step 5: Stir everything together until well incorporated and allow to cook for an extra minute.
Step 6: Enjoy!

I enjoyed this meal with Trader Joe's pork dumplings, but you can pair it with any ready-made dumpling, egg roll, or pot sticker you like for a complete meal! Cooking thin-sliced chicken or beef to add to the fried rice would also pair well. Get creative and get cooking!
