If you have eggs and leftover rice, this easy 10-minute fried rice recipe is the best go-to meal! Made with only 6 ingredients, this is a great main dish, side dish or meal that is budget friendly! I share tips to make it taste like Chinese takeout.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (cold day-old ideally)
  • 1 green onion (finely chopped)
  • 2.5 tbsp regular soy sauce (not dark soy sauce)
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 large eggs (beaten)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok. If you are using a wok, allow the oil to smoke and if using a normal pan, skip smoking the oil.

  2. 2

    Pour in beaten eggs. Quickly stir-fry the eggs so they take shape.

  3. 3

    Once the eggs take shape but are still moist, quickly toss in rice. If rice is clumped together, break apart in pan.

  4. 4

    Sweep everything to the side of the pan, add remaining oil into empty space with green onions. Mix green onions into rice and eggs.

  5. 5

    Add soy sauce and sesame oil along the edges of the pan. Then toss until grains are colored brown. Remove off heat. Serve hot and enjoy while it's hot!
