Key Ingredients for the Crispy Fried Rice Omelette

• Leftover Rice: This is the key to achieving that signature crispy texture. Day-old rice is drier, making it perfect for creating a crispy base.
• Mixed Vegetables: Get creative with your veggie choices! Frozen mixed vegetables, diced bell peppers, or even just edamame all work wonderfully.
• Eggs: Essential for the omelette! Whisk the eggs before pouring them over the rice to ensure an even cook.
• Toppings: This is where you can really personalize your omelette. Chili crunch, Kewpie mayo, and green onions are highly recommended for an extra burst of flavor. Sesame seeds, sriracha, or a drizzle of soy sauce also work well.
• Avocado Oil and Sesame Oil: These oils add depth of flavor and help to create the crispy rice base.
• Soy Sauce: Adds a savory umami flavor to the rice.

Crispy Fried Rice Omelette Recipe

This recipe makes 2 servings of the delicious crispy fried rice omelette!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons chili crunch
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
• ½ cup day-old or leftover white rice
• 2 large eggs, scrambled
• ⅓ cup mixed frozen vegetables, thawed
• 1 green onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
• Kewpie mayo (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat an 8 or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil, sesame oil, and chili crunch to the pan and gently whisk. When the oil is hot and fragrant, add the soy sauce.
2. Add sesame seeds to the pan, followed by the white rice. Toss until the white rice is coated. Use a spatula to spread the white rice over the bottom of the pan. Firmly press the rice down into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice starts to crisp up.
3. Pour the scrambled eggs over the rice. Swirl the pan so that the egg evenly coats the rice. Cover the pan and allow the egg to cook for 3-4 minutes. You may start to smell the rice crisping.
4. Add the vegetables, green onion, and cilantro to the top of the egg. Cover the pan and cook for an additional minute or until the egg is cooked and the vegetables are warm.
5. Using a spatula, gently fold one side of the omelette over onto the other side. The outside of the omelette should be golden brown and crispy.
6. Gently transfer the omelette to a plate. Top with optional Kewpie mayo and extra green onions.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips and Notes

• Rice will crisp up at different speeds depending on your stovetop. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
• Feel free to use any type of vegetable for the mixed vegetables. Get creative and use what you have on hand!
• For extra flavor, try adding a dash of garlic powder or ginger to the rice before cooking.
