Baked Fried Rice is a simple, hands-off version of the classic stir-fry, where rice, vegetables, and seasonings are mixed and baked in the oven for a flavorful, crispy-edged dish perfect for easy weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cooked rice, frozen vegetables, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetable oil.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Create two small wells in the rice mixture and pour the beaten eggs into each well.
  5. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, then stir everything together to scramble the eggs into the rice.
  6. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the rice is crispy around the edges and heated through.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Use cold, day-old rice for the best texture.
  • Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
  • Adjust soy sauce amount to your salt preference.
  • For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely.
