BAKED "FRIED" RICE
If you don't have cold leftover rice around, this easy oven method will produce something very similar to the classic fried rice, with the perfect texture every time. Just like rice pilaf, the grains of rice get coated in fat before absorbing the cooking liquid, ensuring plump, tender, separate grains with no sticky clumps. Just adjust cooking time if using a different kind of rice or pan size. Garnish with green onions and serve with a runny poached egg on top if desired.

SHEET PAN FRIED RICE
Baking the rice on a sheet pan guarantees more of the crispy, crunchy bits that make fried rice the perfect food. For this recipe, the older and drier the rice the better. If you must start with freshly cooked grains, spread them out on a sheet pan to dry out in the refrigerator first.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
- Toss together the rice, white and light green parts of the sliced scallions, carrots, peas, garlic, ginger, vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil in a large bowl until the rice is completely coated. Spread on a sheet pan and bake until the rice begins to toast on the outer edges, about 15 minutes. Toss the rice on the sheet pan using a metal spatula, scraping up any stuck-on pieces. Drizzle the eggs over the rice and nestle in the shrimp. Continue baking until the shrimp and eggs are cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Top with the sesame seeds and reserved dark green scallions and divide among 4 plates. Serve with sriracha on the side.

Tips for Making the Best Oil-Free Oven-Fried Rice:
- Use day-old rice. This will help the rice grains stay separate and not clump together.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any excess starch and help the rice cook evenly.
- Use a large baking sheet. This will allow the rice to spread out in a thin layer and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If the rice is too crowded, it will not cook evenly.
- Stir the rice frequently. This will help prevent the rice from sticking together and will also help it cook evenly.
- Add the sauce and vegetables towards the end of cooking. This will help prevent the vegetables from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the rice immediately. This is when it is at its best.
Conclusion:
Oil-free oven-fried rice is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this classic dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are craving fried rice, try this oil-free version. You won't be disappointed!
