Description

Learn how to make delicious Authentic Egg Fried Rice at home with this easy recipe. This Chinese-inspired dish is packed with flavor and can be customized with your favorite ingredients.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old and chilled)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper)
  • Salt to taste


Instructions

  1. Cook Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok, scramble eggs, and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
  3. Stir-Fry Rice: Add rice to the pan, stir-fry until heated through.
  4. Combine: Add eggs back to the pan, along with soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, and green onions. Mix well.
  5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and add salt if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use cold, leftover rice for best texture—fresh rice will turn mushy.
  • Add frozen peas, carrots, or cooked shrimp for a more filling variation.
  • A hot wok and quick stir-fry technique are key to authentic flavor.
