A quick, high-heat stir-fried rice loaded with vegetables — the easiest way to turn last night’s rice into tonight’s dinner.
طريقة التحضير
- 1
Prep the rice
Use rice that has been cooked and chilled — cold, separate grains fry far better than warm, sticky ones.
- 2
Heat the wok
Heat the oil in a wok or large pan over high heat until shimmering.
- 3
Cook the aromatics
Add the ginger-garlic paste and spring onion whites, and stir-fry 20–30 seconds until fragrant.
- 4
Add vegetables
Tip in the carrot, cabbage and peas, and stir-fry on high heat for 2–3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
- 5
Add the rice
Add the cold rice, breaking up any clumps with the back of the spatula, and toss continuously for 2–3 minutes until heated through.

Season and finish
Drizzle in the soy sauce and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly. Scatter over the spring onion greens and serve immediately, straight from the wok.
Keep the heat high throughout — a wok that cools down steams the rice instead of frying it, and you lose the characteristic wok-hei flavour.
