I know I have said it before, but Chinese take out gets expensive! However, as one of the household favorite foods, having a perfect recipe for oven baked fried rice on hand makes dinner so quick and easy.
This recipe makes a ton of rice too, so I use this as a main or side. Sometimes I pair it with egg rolls, dumplings, or a chicken stir fry.
I have tried all the ways to make fried rice, using leftover refrigerated rice, instant pot, stove top, and none of them ever came out great. They also made a huge mess and required the use of so many dishes.
This simple and quick recipe only uses a sauce pan and a 9×13 pan. Another reason I love it!
Making Oven Baked Fried Rice
This rice comes together so quick and easy and makes so much, I typically make it once a week!
You start by toasting your rice in the butter on the stove. Add in the onions and sauté for a few more minutes till the onions become translucent.
In a jar or bowl, mix your broth, soy sauce, mirin, and white pepper (you can use black pepper, I just prefer white pepper for this dish).
Add the minced garlic to the pan with the rice and sauté for a minute then add the broth mixture to the rice along with the peas and carrots.
Pour everything into the 9×13 pan you have sprayed with cooking spray. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 400 for 30 minutes.
If you are adding chicken, grill your chicken while the rice is baking and set aside.
Remove the foil from pan after 30 minutes and allow it to cook for 10 more minutes uncovered.
During this last 10 minutes, scramble the eggs and set aside. We like a lot of eggs, so I use 6, feel free to use more or less depending on your preference.
When the rice is finished baking carefully add in the sesame oil, green onions, scrambled eggs and chicken and mix well.
Serve immediately with egg rolls or dumplings, or your favorite stir fry.
Chinese take-out night saved!
