Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice cold day-old rice recommended
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup tomato diced
  • ½ cup spam or sliced hot dogs/ham/chicken/pork/beef/shrimp (optional)
  • 1 green onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup or add 1 more tablespoon if you prefer it tangier
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce or vegetarian stir fry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Break up day-old cooked rice into granules with clean hands or a rice paddle and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Add beaten eggs and scramble them until they take shape. Once they take shape and are still moist, quickly remove and set aside.
  • Into the pan, add remaining vegetable oil followed by green onions and cook for 10-15 seconds or until fragrant. (Optional: if you're adding protein, add it at this point and cook until it's 75% cooked through).
  • Then add diced tomatoes and minced garlic. Mix everything together and allow the juices to evaporate, a few minutes.
  • Once the juices have evaporated, toss in rice followed by dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, sesame oil and cooked eggs. Toss everything together until every rice granule is colored brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!
