Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
- 3 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In the baking dish, combine rice, broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to evenly distribute ingredients.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven, carefully remove foil, and stir in frozen peas and carrots.
- Create a small well in the rice and pour in the beaten eggs. Stir gently to combine, allowing the hot rice to cook the eggs slightly.
- Return to oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until eggs are fully cooked and rice is tender.
- Stir in green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use leftover rice to reduce baking time if preferred; adjust broth accordingly.
- Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a more filling main dish.
- You can swap frozen vegetables with fresh ones if desired.
