Instructions

1Prepare the Eggs

Whisk Eggs

Crack 4 eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Whisk with chopsticks until well combined and slightly frothy.

2Prepare the Aromatics

Chop Green Onions

Trim the roots and the very ends of the green onions. Chop them into small, diagonal pieces. Reserve for later.

3Cook the Eggs

Heat Wok and Oil

Heat a wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Wait until the oil shimmers.

Scramble Eggs

Pour the whisked eggs into the hot wok. Let them set for a few seconds, then gently scramble with a spatula until about three-quarters cooked. Remove the eggs from the wok and set aside.

4Stir-fry the Rice

10m

Add More Oil

Add 2 more tablespoons of vegetable oil to the wok. Let it heat up until it shimmers.

Add Rice and Eggs

Add the cold cooked jasmine rice to the wok. Break up any clumps with your spatula. Add the scrambled eggs back into the wok.

Season the Rice

Season with salt and soy sauce. Stir-fry everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated and heated through. If desired, add black pepper.

Add Green Onions

Add the chopped green onions to the wok. Stir-fry for another minute until the green onions are slightly wilted and fragrant.

5Serve

Plate and Garnish

Transfer the fried rice to a serving bowl. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips

Using cold, day-old rice is key to achieving fluffy fried rice that isn't mushy.

Don't overcrowd the wok; cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper stir-frying.

Adjust the amount of soy sauce and salt to your personal taste.

Feel free to add other ingredients like peas, carrots, or protein for a more complete meal.
