Egg Fried Rice
Description
Egg Fried Rice is prepared by first loosening leftover cooked rice to separate grains, which helps achieve a non-sticky texture during frying. Beaten eggs seasoned with salt are then quickly cooked in a very hot wok coated with neutral cooking oil until just set, forming soft scrambled pieces.
The rice is added back to the wok and mixed with the eggs while being stir-fried to evenly heat and incorporate flavors. Soy sauce is poured around the edge of the wok to season the rice without making it soggy. Ground black pepper and chopped green onions finish the dish, adding a mild heat and fresh herbal note respectively.
The dish is best served immediately while hot, highlighting the fluffy rice with scattered egg and vibrant scallions. Using leftover rice helps prevent clumping and permits a dry, separate grain texture typical of well-made fried rice.
