Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice (day-old, cold)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 4 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or neutral oil)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Chop the scallions finely, separating the white and green parts. Set aside.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them gently. Cook until they are just set but still soft, then remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, followed by the minced garlic and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cold cooked rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps with a spatula and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through.
Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well to ensure the rice is evenly coated.
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and gently toss them with the rice.
Add the green parts of the scallions and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
