Quick, flavorful egg fried rice with just six ingredients. Served in under 10 minutes for busy weeknights.
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 cups cooked jasmine rice, cold and day-old (or substitute with any white long grain rice)
02 -
1 green onion, finely chopped
03 -
2.5 tablespoons regular soy sauce or light soy sauce (avoid dark soy sauce)
04 -
0.5 tablespoon sesame oil
05 -
4 large eggs, beaten
06 -
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or any neutral oil
# Steps:
01 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok. If using a wok, allow the oil to smoke briefly. If using a regular pan, skip smoking the oil.
02 -
Pour in beaten eggs. Quickly stir-fry the eggs until they start to take shape.
03 -
Once the eggs take shape but remain moist, quickly toss in the rice. Break apart any clumped rice directly in the pan.
04 -
Move everything to the side of the pan, adding the remaining oil into the empty space. Add green onions, then mix green onions into the rice and eggs.
05 -
Add soy sauce and sesame oil along the edges of the pan. Toss everything together until the grains are evenly coated and turn brown. Remove from heat.
06 -
Serve hot and enjoy the dish while it's still warm.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For best results, use cold, day-old jasmine rice and avoid using freshly cooked rice as it can be too moist.
02 -
Light soy sauce is recommended for flavor balance; avoid dark soy sauce for this recipe.
