Instructions
-
Heat a wok or a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, and then the broccoli, carrots, cabbage, zucchini, peppers, and edamame.
-
Stir often for about 4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender (they will get another few minutes to cook at the end of the stir fry so it’s ok if they’re still crunchy right now). Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
-
Season the beaten eggs with a little salt and pepper. Heat 1 more tablespoon of oil in the same wok or skillet over high heat.
-
Add the beaten eggs and scramble quickly, just about 1 minute. When they are just cooked through, slide them out onto the plate with the vegetables.
-
Return the wok to the burner over high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then add the cooled rice. Stir fry for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly browned in spots.
-
Add the ginger and the garlic to the rice, and stir for about 1 minute until they’re fragrant. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and scallions.
-
Return the vegetables and eggs to the wok with the rice. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until everything is combined and hot and the vegetables are just tender. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper, if needed.
-
Sprinkle the additional scallions over the top, and serve right away, passing soy sauce on the side for those who want a bit more.
