Prep Time 2 minutes mins
Cook Time 8 minutes mins
Total Time 10 minutes mins
- 2 cups of cooked jasmine rice chilled and preferably day-old (you can also use any long-grain white rice)
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- 2½ tablespoons of regular or light soy sauce avoid using dark soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon of sesame oil
- 4 large eggs beaten
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or any neutral-flavored oil
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok. If using a wok, let the oil smoke, but if using a regular pan, skip the smoking step.
Pour in the beaten eggs and stir-fry quickly to scramble them into shape.
Once the eggs are set but still moist, immediately add the rice. If the rice is clumped, break it apart in the pan.
Push everything to one side of the pan, and add the remaining oil into the empty space, followed by the green onions. Stir the green onions into the rice and eggs.
Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil along the edges of the pan, then toss everything together until the rice is evenly coated and slightly browned.
Remove from heat and serve hot, enjoying while it’s fresh!
