You can also serve this easy egg fried rice as a side, it will be beautifully goes well with teriyaki chicken, sticky Chinese ribs, beef and broccoli, creamy shrimp and more. Check out my entree recipes for more ideas! Drizzle some sriracha if you want a kick or extra soy sauce if you want more savory.
Let’s get started!
Beat eggs well with pinch of salt and slice green onions. Set aside.
Heat a wok or a skillet over high heat; add 1 tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat. Pour beaten eggs into the wok and scramble.
When the eggs are cooked 3/4 way, add remaining 2 tbsp cooking oil and cold jasmine rice.
A day old cold jasmine rice is my absolute favorite to make fried rice. It has beautiful aroma and fluffy texture that can hold the shape well while frying.
Breakdown rice and mix it with the eggs.
Add soy sauce around the edge of the wok, so it will burn slightly for the smoky umami flavor. Add salt to your taste and mix everything well. Reduce heat to low if you need to.
Turn off the heat, stir in green onions.
Garnish with sesame seeds if you’d like to!
Enjoy with any other dishes you decided to serve with!

Where did you buy this wok?
I added some chopped carrots and peas. Other than that, pretty good!

This came out great. So easy, so tasty. Made it as a side with my Baked Lemon Soy Pork Chop Steaks along with an Asian salad that I made fresh Japanese Carrot Ginger dressing. I used the extra soy sauce (Gluten free San-J Lite 50% less sodium Tamari Sauce). Will definitely be making this again whenever I need a side egg friend rice dish. Thanks so much Seonkyoung. Love your videos and your wonderful joyful personality.
I tried to give this 5 stars but for whatever reason it would not register.
