Dump & Bake Fried Rice (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
02 - 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
03 - 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
04 - 1 small onion, diced
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
07 - 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
08 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
09 - 2 large eggs, beaten
10 - 1 cup cooked and diced chicken, ham, or tofu
11 - Salt and pepper to taste
12 - Green onions, sliced for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
02 - Spread the uncooked rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
03 - Scatter the frozen peas and carrots mix, diced onion, and minced garlic over the rice.
04 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the rice and vegetables in the baking dish.
05 - Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is tender.
06 - Remove the dish from the oven. Pour the beaten eggs over the cooked rice, add in the diced protein (chicken, ham, or tofu), and stir everything together. The residual heat will cook the eggs through.
07 - Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

# Notes:

01 - You can substitute shrimp or salmon for a unique variation in protein.
02 - For a vegetarian option, skip the oyster sauce, use vegetable broth, and select tofu or beans.
03 - To add heat, consider a drizzle of sriracha or red pepper flakes.
04 - For a smoky flavor, include bacon or smoked sausage in the dish.
