Jamie Oliver Fried Rice is a simplified and nutritious take on the classic Asian fried rice. It’s made with cold, leftover rice stir-fried with eggs, vegetables, and optional protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Flavored with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and spring onions, it’s finished with a touch of lime or chili for a fresh, balanced bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably chilled, day-old)

  • 2 large eggs (beaten)

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrot, bell pepper, peas)

  • 2 spring onions (sliced)

  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)

  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger (grated)

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil

  • Salt and pepper – to taste

  • Optional: 1/2 cup cooked chicken or shrimp

  • Fresh cilantro or chili – for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

  • Chop all vegetables and proteins.

  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl and have them ready to go.

  • Ensure rice is cold and loose—not sticky or clumped.

Step 2: Cook the Eggs

  • Heat a little oil in a wok or large pan.

  • Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble quickly until just set.

  • Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté Aromatics

  • Add a touch more oil to the pan.

  • Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Add spring onions and stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes.

Step 4: Add Veggies and Rice

  • Toss in mixed vegetables and cook for 2–3 minutes until just tender.

  • Add the cold rice and stir constantly, breaking up any lumps and heating it through.

Step 5: Season and Combine

  • Drizzle soy sauce over the rice and mix well to coat.

  • Return the cooked eggs to the pan and toss to combine everything evenly.

  • Add salt, pepper, or chili flakes to taste.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  • Top with fresh herbs or chili if desired.

  • Serve hot with lime wedges or a drizzle of sesame oil.
