Add rice and cook, spreading the rice on entire cooking surface of pan, for about 45 seconds or until grains start to sizzle and then toss to redistribute. Repeat a few times until rice is heated through.

Notes

  •  
  • If using freshly cooked,  spread the rice out in a thin layer on a baking sheet and stick in the fridge for a few hours to dry out and completely cool.
  • Cook the eggs until just set and still slightly wet as they will continue to cook when returned to the pan with the rest of the ingredients.
