Ingredients

Scale

Rice and Eggs

  • 4 cups cooked rice (for 2 servings)
  • 2–3 eggs

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–3 spring onions (separate white and green parts)

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tbsp cooking oil (sunflower, peanut, or vegetable oil)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp regular soy sauce
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp chicken powder (or MSG or dashi powder)
  • 2 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Beat 2-3 eggs in a bowl, add salt to taste, and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and sauté the minced garlic along with the white parts of the spring onions until they become fragrant.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the wok and allow them to set slightly for a few seconds before breaking them into small pieces with a spatula.
  4. Add Rice and Seasonings: Add the cooked rice to the wok. Season the mixture with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon chicken powder, and ½ teaspoon white pepper.
  5. Stir-fry the Rice: Toss everything together well and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes to blend flavors and heat through evenly.
  6. Finish and Serve: Add the green parts of the spring onions and drizzle 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Stir well until combined and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use day-old cooked rice for best texture to prevent sogginess.
  • Chicken powder can be substituted with MSG or dashi powder for savory depth.
  • Adjust soy sauce and salt according to taste preferences.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit chicken powder and use vegetarian soy sauce.
  • Use a non-stick or well-seasoned wok to prevent sticking during stir-frying.
