Ingredients
Scale
Cooked Jasmine Rice:
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (cold, day-old ideally)
Green Onion:
- 1 green onion (finely chopped)
Soy Sauce:
- 2.5 tablespoons regular soy sauce (not dark soy sauce)
Sesame Oil:
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
Eggs:
- 4 large eggs (beaten)
Vegetable Oil:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
Instructions
- 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.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Stir-fry quickly until the eggs take shape but are still slightly moist.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve: Remove the fried rice from heat and serve hot. Enjoy while it’s fresh and warm!
