Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (450 ml) water
  • 2 packets long grain rice
  • 2 tbsp (40 ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (20 ml) honey
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) sriracha sauce
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • ⅓ cup (85 g) canned corn, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup (60 g) frozen peas
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp oil (vegetable or sesame)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Rice

 

In a pot, bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil. Add the rice packets and cook for 18-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

 

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

 

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, and sriracha sauce. Set aside.

 

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

 

Dice the carrot and mince the garlic.

 

Step 4: Cook the Vegetables

 

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes, then add the garlic, corn, and frozen peas. Cook for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

 

Step 5: Cook the Eggs

 

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and pour in the beaten eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs, cooking until just set. Add the cooked vegetables back into the pan.

 

Step 6: Combine Everything

 

Add the cooked rice to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

 

Step 7: Serve

 

Garnish with fresh dill and serve hot!

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

Storage & Reheating

Pro Tips
