Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice cold & day-old (or sub with any white long grain rice)
  • 1 green onion finely chopped
  • 2.5 tbsp regular soy sauce or light soy sauce (avoid dark soy sauce)
  • 0.5 tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Method
 

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok. If using a wok, allow the oil to smoke; if using a normal pan, skip smoking the oil.
  2. Pour in beaten eggs. Quickly stir-fry the eggs so they take shape.
  3. Once the eggs take shape but are still moist, quickly toss in rice. If rice is clumped together, break apart in pan.
  4. Sweep everything to the side of the pan, add remaining oil into empty space with green onions. Mix green onions into rice and eggs.
  5. Add soy sauce and sesame oil along the edges of the pan. Then toss until grains are colored brown. Remove off heat. Serve hot and enjoy while it's hot!

Notes

For best results, use day-old rice to prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy.
