Ingredients
→ Main Ingredients:
2 cups cold, day-old cooked jasmine rice
4 large eggs, beaten
1 green onion, finely chopped
2.5 tablespoons regular soy sauce (not dark soy sauce)
½ tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
Instructions
Heat Oil:
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Let it slightly smoke if using a wok.
Cook Eggs:
Add beaten eggs and stir-fry for about 1 minute until they are just starting to set but still moist.
Add Rice:
Add in cold rice, breaking up clumps and mixing with the eggs thoroughly.
Add Onions:
Push everything to one side of the pan. In the empty space, add remaining oil and green onions. Sauté briefly, then mix into the rice and egg mixture.
Season:
Pour soy sauce and sesame oil around the edge of the pan. Toss everything together until rice is evenly coated and brown.
Serve:
Serve immediately while hot. Optional: garnish with extra green onions or chili flakes.
Notes
Use cold, day-old rice for the best texture—freshly cooked rice will be too sticky.
Customize by adding frozen peas, diced carrots, or cooked shrimp or tofu.
For low-sodium needs, use reduced-salt soy sauce.
