Ingredients

2 cups cooked jasmine rice or long-grain white rice (cold, day-old recommended)
4 large eggs beaten
1 green onion finely chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil or any neutral oil
2.5 tablespoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
½ tablespoon sesame oil toasted kind

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil in a large pan or non-stick wok over medium-high heat. If using a steel wok, allow the oil to smoke slightly; if using a regular pan, skip this step. Add the beaten eggs and quickly stir-fry until just set but still soft and moist.
Add the rice, breaking up any clumps directly in the pan as needed.
Push everything to one side of the pan, add the remaining oil to the empty space, and sauté the green onions. Toss everything together until combined.
Pour soy sauce and sesame oil around the edges of the pan, then toss until the rice is evenly coated and lightly browned. Remove from heat and serve hot. If needed, season with salt to taste.
