10 min. Easy Egg Fried Rice (only 6 ingredients!)
Description
Using cold, pre-cooked jasmine or white long grain rice ensures the rice grains remain separate and don't clump together. Vegetable oil is heated in a pan or wok, and beaten eggs are quickly stir-fried to form soft curds but remain moist. The rice is added and broken up if needed, then combined with finely chopped green onions cooked briefly in added oil. Soy sauce and sesame oil are poured around the pan edges and stirred in evenly to coat the grains with savory flavor.
The finished egg fried rice features fluffy grains accompanied by tender pieces of egg and a gentle aroma from the sesame oil. It offers a balanced, straightforward taste that works as a main dish or accompaniment.
Picking cold day-old rice is essential for a non-mushy texture. Stirring quickly while cooking prevents the eggs from drying out and helps distribute ingredients evenly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups jasmine rice cold & day-old (or sub with any white long grain rice, cooked
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- 2.5 tablespoon soy sauce or light soy sauce (avoid dark soy sauce, regular
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 large egg beaten
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok. If you are using a wok, allow the oil to smoke and if using a normal pan, skip smoking the oil.
- Pour in beaten eggs. Quickly stir-fry the eggs so they take shape.
- Once the eggs take shape but are still moist, quickly toss in rice. If rice is clumped together, break apart in pan.
- Sweep everything to the side of the pan, add remaining oil into empty space with green onions. Mix green onions into rice and eggs.
- 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!
