Recipe 🍳

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan, crack in an egg, and make soft scrambled eggs.
  2. Add warm rice and stir-fry until it is well mixed with the eggs and becomes fluffy.
  3. When the rice and eggs are fully cooked, turn off the heat completely.
  4. With the heat off, add the prepared basil pesto and mix well so that the sauce coats each grain of rice evenly with residual heat.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and finish by grating Parmigiano Reggiano cheese on top according to taste.

  2. Add rice, stir-fry until fluffy, then turn off the heat completely.
  3. Add basil pesto, mix well, and sprinkle cheese to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since basil pesto is sensitive to heat, it must be mixed off the heat using residual heat to maintain its fresh green color and fragrant aroma.
  • The pesto itself is seasoned and oily, so be careful not to oversalt or use too much oil when making the fried rice.
