Making egg fried rice at home is super easy and fast! It takes only 5 minutes or less. The ingredients are simple as this:

If you add any extra veggies or protein, to make it as a perfect main meal. Chicken, shrimp, crab, beef, pork and more, the options are endless! You can also serve this easy egg fried rice as a side, it will be beautifully goes well with teriyaki chicken, sticky Chinese ribs, beef and broccoli, creamy shrimp and more. Check out my entree recipes for more ideas! Drizzle some sriracha if you want a kick or extra soy sauce if you want more savory.
Let’s get started!
Beat eggs well with pinch of salt and slice green onions. Set aside.
Heat a wok or a skillet over high heat; add 1 tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat. Pour beaten eggs into the wok and scramble.
When the eggs are cooked 3/4 way, add remaining 2 tbsp cooking oil and cold jasmine rice.
A day old cold jasmine rice is my absolute favorite to make fried rice. It has beautiful aroma and fluffy texture that can hold the shape well while frying.
Breakdown rice and mix it with the eggs.
Add soy sauce around the edge of the wok, so it will burn slightly for the smoky umami flavor. Add salt to your taste and mix everything well. Reduce heat to low if you need to.
Turn off the heat, stir in green onions.
Garnish with sesame seeds if you’d like to!
Enjoy with any other dishes you decided to serve with!
