- Add the chilled rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spoon or spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly heated and slightly crispy in places.
5. Flavor the Rice:
- Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Add the Scrambled Eggs:
- Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and toss everything together until the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the rice.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Once everything is well mixed, remove from heat. Garnish with freshly sliced green onions and serve hot.
- Optionally, you can add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a more substantial meal.
Tips:
- Rice Consistency: Day-old rice works best for fried rice because it’s drier, which prevents the dish from being too soggy. If using fresh rice, let it cool completely before using.
- Add-ins: Feel free to mix in other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or broccoli. You can also add protein like cooked chicken, shrimp, pork, or even tofu for a heartier meal.
- Heat Level: For a spicy kick, you can add some chili paste, sriracha, or chopped fresh chili peppers to the frying vegetables.
- For Extra Flavor: A splash of fish sauce or hoisin sauce can bring even more umami to the fried rice.
