Quick, savory, and unbelievably simple, this fried rice recipe is the ultimate weeknight rescue that combines rice, egg, and simple seasonings into a balanced meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked long-grain rice (day-old preferred or 1.5 cups fresh spread thin to cool)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (whites and greens separated)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: frozen peas, diced carrots, cooked shrimp, or leftover roast chicken

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the cooked rice and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking up clumps.
  3. Push the rice to one side and crack the eggs into the pan, scrambling them until cooked. Mix with the rice.
  4. Add soy sauce, green onion whites, salt, and pepper; stir to combine.
  5. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until everything is heated through. Serve warm.

Notes

For the best texture, use day-old rice or ensure fresh rice is cooled before using. Adjust soy sauce gradually to taste.
