🙋 Recommended for
- ⭐ Those who want to recreate the smoky, fluffy fried rice they love from Chinese restaurants at home
- ⭐ Home cooks looking to make a satisfying, high-quality meal using leftover rice and basic ingredients
Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- rice (leftover or unheated instant rice) 1 bowl
- egg 1~2 pieces
- green onion 1/2 bunch
- carrot a little
- lettuce or cabbage a little
- vegetable oil generously
- oyster sauce 1/3 teaspoon
- salt a little
Recipe 🍳
- Chop green onion finely, grate carrot, and cut lettuce into suitable-sized pieces.
- If using instant rice, never heat it in the microwave—use it directly as-is.
- Heat generous amount of vegetable oil in a pan, crack in the eggs, and lightly stir with a spoon to scramble them gently.
- When the eggs are about halfway cooked, add the prepared green onion and carrot, and cook thoroughly until the green onion aroma fully infuses the oil.
- Add the rice and use the back of a spoon to spread and break up the grains, mixing well with the eggs and vegetables without clumping.
- Sprinkle a small amount of oyster sauce and salt evenly across the mixture to balance the seasoning.
- Once the rice grains are fluffy and well-fried, add the lettuce and toss lightly one final time before turning off the heat.
- Dice green onion, carrot, and lettuce into appropriate sizes.
- Heat oil in a pan, fry the egg, then add green onion and carrot to release the garlic oil fragrance.
- Add unheated rice and stir-fry thoroughly with the ingredients to achieve a light, fluffy texture.
- Season with oyster sauce and salt, then add lettuce and briefly toss to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Always use unheated instant rice—avoid microwaving it so the right balance of oil and moisture keeps the grains from sticking together and ensures fluffiness.
- Adding too much oyster sauce will darken and muddy the color of the fried rice; use only a small amount for umami depth, and adjust saltiness with additional salt if needed.
