A quick and customizable dish perfect for busy weeknights, this Easy Egg Fried Rice combines leftover rice, eggs, and vegetables for a delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups day old white rice (preferably long grain)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • ½ small yellow onion (small dice)
  • 2 tablespoons frozen peas and carrots (thawed, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (light sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 stalk green onion (just the green part sliced, optional for garnish)
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
  • Oil (as needed for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Rice: Break apart the day-old rice by rubbing it between your hands, ensuring it is not clumped.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large nonstick pan. When hot, add the beaten eggs, stirring quickly to scramble. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same wok, add a bit more oil. Toss in the diced onion, peas, and carrots, sautéing until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add Rice and Eggs: Mix the rice and scrambled eggs into the wok. Drizzle oil around the edges and stir-fry until well combined for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Sauces: Pour in the Shaoxing rice wine, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.
  6. Finish with Garnishes: Add sesame oil and green onions, stirring to combine before serving hot.

Notes

Feel free to customize with different vegetables or proteins. Make sure to use day-old rice for the best texture.
