Homemade Japanese Fried Rice (Yakimeshi) – Simple, Savory, and Satisfying

Japanese fried rice, known as Yakimeshi, is a quick and tasty dish made with short-grain rice, vegetables, egg, and a savory soy-based seasoning. It's a perfect way to use leftover rice and whip up a flavorful meal in under 30 minutes.

Unlike Chinese-style fried rice, Yakimeshi is often made with a lighter soy flavor and finely chopped ingredients, making it a staple in Japanese home cooking.

Ingredients (Serves 2–3):

  • 2 cups cooked Japanese short-grain rice (preferably chilled)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots or mixed veggies
  • 1/2 cup chopped ham, chicken, or shrimp (optional)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Prepare your ingredients:
Make sure your rice is cold and crumbly. Dice all veggies and protein into small, even pieces.

2. Scramble the eggs:
Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs, scramble until just cooked, then set aside.

3. Sauté vegetables & protein:
Add remaining oil. Stir-fry onion, carrots, and protein (if using) until lightly browned and cooked through (3–4 minutes).

4. Add rice & season:
Toss in the rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until heated through. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.

5. Add eggs & green onions:
Return scrambled eggs to the pan and stir in green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve hot:
Garnish with more green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Why You'll Love This Japanese Fried Rice:

  • Fast and easy weeknight meal
  • Customizable with your favorite protein
  • Perfect use for leftover rice
  • Light and savory flavor
  • Family-friendly and satisfying

Tips & Variations:

  • Use cold rice: Fresh rice can become mushy—chilled rice fries better
  • Add garlic or ginger for more flavor
  • Make it vegetarian: Skip the meat and load up on vegetables
  • For a smoky flavor: Use a hot wok and cook in batches if needed
  • Top it off: Add a fried egg or a drizzle of Japanese mayo for extra richness

FAQs:

Q: Can I use jasmine or basmati rice?
A: You can, but Japanese short-grain rice gives the most authentic taste and texture.

Q: Can I freeze fried rice?
A: Yes! Store cooled fried rice in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

Q: What's the difference between Japanese and Chinese fried rice?
A: Japanese fried rice uses short-grain rice and less oil and soy sauce, giving it a lighter texture and flavor.

Final Thoughts:

This Japanese fried rice recipe is a perfect mix of simplicity and flavor. Whether you're looking for a quick dinner or a delicious side, Yakimeshi is sure to satisfy.
