A simple and flavorful recipe for Egg Fried Rice that’s perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. This dish combines fluffy jasmine rice with eggs, green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil for a delicious and comforting dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Rice:

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, cold (day-old ideally)

Green Onion:

  • 1 green onion, finely chopped

Soy Sauce Mixture:

  • 2.5 tablespoons regular soy sauce (not dark soy sauce)
  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil

Eggs:

  • 4 large eggs, beaten

Vegetable Oil:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. If using a wok, let the oil smoke briefly for extra flavor. If using a normal pan, skip the smoking step.
  2. Cook the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Stir-fry quickly until the eggs take shape but are still slightly moist.
  3. Add the rice: Add the cold, cooked rice to the pan. If the rice is clumped together, break it apart in the pan using a spatula or spoon.
  4. Add green onions: Push the rice and eggs to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the empty side, followed by the chopped green onions. Mix the green onions into the rice and eggs.
  5. Season the rice: Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil along the edges of the pan. Toss everything together until the rice grains are evenly coated and take on a light brown color.
  6. Serve: Remove the fried rice from heat and serve hot. Enjoy while it’s fresh and warm!
