Description

A quick and flavorful dish that can be made in just 10 minutes! This Easy Egg Fried Rice combines perfectly cooked jasmine rice, scrambled eggs, and a savory mix of soy sauce and sesame oil. Ideal for a fast meal or using up leftover rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (cold, day-old ideally)
  • 1 green onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons regular soy sauce (not dark soy sauce)
  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 large eggs (beaten)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)

Instructions

  • Heat Vegetable Oil:
    In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil. If using a wok, allow the oil to smoke, but if using a normal pan, skip smoking the oil.

  • Cook the Eggs:
    Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Quickly stir-fry the eggs so they take shape.

  • Add the Rice:
    Once the eggs take shape but are still moist, quickly toss in the cold rice. If the rice is clumped together, break it apart in the pan.

  • Add Green Onions:
    Push everything to the side of the pan, then add the remaining oil into the empty space with the green onions. Stir the green onions into the rice and eggs.

  • Add Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil:
    Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil along the edges of the pan. Toss everything together until the rice is evenly coated and slightly browned.

  • Serve:
    Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy while it’s hot!

Notes

  • For the best fried rice, use cold, day-old rice as it prevents the rice from becoming mushy when stir-fried.
  • You can add extra vegetables or proteins like shrimp, chicken, or peas for variation.
