If you are anything like me, you probably love fried rice but sometimes dread the cleanup that comes with using a wok or a large skillet. This dump and bake method is a lifesaver on busy weeknights because you just toss everything into one pan and let the oven do the heavy lifting while you get other things done.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how the rice soaks up all that delicious broth and soy sauce while it bakes. It comes out perfectly tender every single time. Just make sure to seal your foil tightly so the steam stays inside, which is the secret to getting that perfect texture without any hard or crunchy bits.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup diced cooked ham
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
3 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 large eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup sliced green onions for garnish

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
2
Combine the rice, sesame oil, onion, garlic, ham, peas and carrots, soy sauce, and chicken broth in the baking dish. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed.
3
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
4
Remove the foil and turn your oven up to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
5
Make a small well in the center of the rice and pour in the beaten eggs. Place the dish back into the oven for 10 minutes until the eggs are set and the rice looks lightly golden.
6
Remove from the oven, break up the cooked egg with a wooden spoon, and fold it into the rice. Season with salt and pepper, top with green onions, and serve.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, just add a splash of water and microwave until hot or toss it briefly in a skillet to crisp it back up.
