📝 Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 spring onions, finely chopped (reserve some for garnish)
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tbsp garlic, finely minced
  • 4 cups day-old, cooked long-grain white rice
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • salt to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add about three-quarters of the chopped spring onions (reserving the rest for garnish) and stir-fry for about a minute until fragrant.
  2. 2Pour in the beaten eggs over the spring onions. Gently scramble them, making sure they're slightly runny.
  3. 3Add the minced garlic to the egg and onion mixture, stirring briefly.
  4. 4Stir in the day-old rice, breaking it up with your spatula. Mix thoroughly with the egg, garlic, and spring onions.
  5. 5Add the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, a pinch of salt, and white pepper. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the rice is well-separated and turns slightly golden.
  6. 6Drizzle in the sesame oil and combine everything evenly. Cook for another minute to ensure all flavors are well incorporated.
  7. 7Remove from heat. Garnish with the remaining chopped spring onions.
  8. 8Serve hot as a flavorful and aromatic side dish.
