🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly prepare a delicious meal with minimal ingredients and just 5 minutes of time, without any risk of failure.
  • People looking to experience a rich, silky egg flavor that melts smoothly into each rice grain—different from traditional fried rice.
  • Anyone seeking quick, easy, and reliably flavorful meals for late-night snacks or busy mornings.

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • cold rice 1 bowl
  • scallions 1/2 bunch
  • eggs 1
  • oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
  • vegetable oil generously
  • black pepper a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Chop the scallions finely and set aside. Crack the egg into a bowl and beat it gently until smooth with no lumps.
  2. Heat vegetable oil generously in a frying pan over medium-low heat and slowly sauté the scallions to create fragrant scallion oil.
  3. Once the scallion aroma rises pleasantly, add the cold rice and use the back of a spoon or spatula to press and spread the rice, mixing it thoroughly with the scallions.
  4. When each grain of rice is well separated, add oyster sauce and a pinch of black pepper, stirring to evenly coat the rice. (Keep the heat at medium-low—too high a flame may burn the sauce.)
  5. Once the rice is evenly coated with sauce, increase the heat to high, then pour the beaten egg mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pan.
  6. Stir quickly and vigorously as the egg cooks softly, wrapping around each grain of rice. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and finish.
  1. Beat the egg in advance. Heat oil in the pan and sauté the finely chopped scallions to make scallion oil.
  2. Add the cold rice and stir-fry with the scallions, then season with oyster sauce and black pepper for even flavor and color.
  3. Turn up the heat to high, pour in the beaten egg, and quickly mix with the rice to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When frying rice, press and rub the grains using the edge of a spatula or the rounded back of a ladle to prevent clumping and ensure each grain stays separate and fluffy.
  • Adding the egg at the last step and cooking it rapidly over high heat ensures a soft, moist, and tender texture—never dry or crumbly.
  • If the cold rice is too hard, briefly microwave it for about 20 seconds to restore slight moisture, making it much easier to fluff up during frying.
