Fried Rice with Ginger, Hoisin, and Sesame
Fried Rice with Ginger, Hoisin, and Sesame balances sweet, salty, and nutty flavors with a hint of heat from fresh ginger. Tender vegetables, toasted sesame, and scrambled egg are tossed with fragrant rice and a glossy hoisin–barbecue sauce enriched with peanut butter. Great as a weeknight main or a bold side alongside teriyaki beef or other grilled meats.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the uncooked rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender.

While the rice cooks, mix the hoisin sauce, barbeque sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

When the rice is finished, heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high. When it starts to smoke, add the onion and fry until clear. Add the carrot and cook for about 1 minute, then add the rice and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and peas; cook and stir for about 1 minute. Push everything to the sides of the wok and crack the eggs into the center. Scramble until cooked through, keeping the raw egg from mixing with the rest. When the eggs are done, stir them into the rice.

Turn off the heat and stir in about half of the sauce, tasting and adding more as desired. You may not need all the sauce, but if serving with a meat it also makes a good sauce for that. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
