Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil divided
- 4 eggs beaten well
- 3 green onion finely chopped, divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups (600 g) cooked Jasmin rice day-old leftover
- 1 tsp light soy sauce or soy sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp sesame oil optional
- 2 pinches MSG optional
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs to the heated oil. You should see the eggs quickly bubble up from the edge. Scramble the egg until cooked but still slightly moist, breaking into small chunks. Transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add 1/2 the amount of green onion and garlic, and stir-fry until it releases the fragrance and soften, about 30-60 seconds.
- Add rice and stir-fry constantly to coat with green onion and to heat the rice evenly. If there are still some clumps, press with a spatula to separate the rice grains.
- Return the eggs and add remaining green onion, soy sauce, and salt to the rice. Sprinkle 1-2 pinches of MSG and sesame oil if you are using. Give everything a good stir to evenly distribute the seasonings. Taste to see if you need more salt. Sprinkle with pepper and give a good toss. Enjoy egg fried rice while hot.
Notes
- Add vegetables if you prefer to make it a hearty meal: You can add veggies such as carrots, peas, peppers, or corn to make the dish more substantial. If you choose to do so, stir-fry the vegetables first to soften them before adding the rice. Additionally, you'll need to increase the portion of seasoning to ensure the dish is flavorful enough.
