Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.
Pour in beaten eggs. Quickly stir-fry the eggs so they take shape.
Once the eggs take shape but are still moist, quickly toss in rice. If rice is clumped together, break apart in pan.
Sweep everything to the side of the pan, add remaining oil into empty space with green onions. Mix green onions into rice and eggs.
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!
