Basic Ingredients- 3 fresh eggs
- 1/2 green onion (primarily the white part)
- 2 bowls of freshly cooked rice
- 1-2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop the washed green onion. Using mostly the white part will yield a more fragrant scallion oil.
Step 2
Next, mince the chopped green onion as finely and evenly as possible. This helps prevent burning and ensures a gentle scallion aroma when stir-frying.
Step 3
Crack the 3 eggs into a large bowl. Using fresh eggs will enhance the savory flavor.
Step 4
Gently whisk the eggs with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined. No need to overbeat.
Step 5
Add 1-2 teaspoons of salt to the beaten eggs and season. It’s recommended to start with 1 teaspoon and add more after tasting.
Step 6
Gently stir the salted eggs again to ensure the salt is evenly distributed. This completes the seasoning for your fried rice.
Step 7
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat with a generous amount of cooking oil. Add the minced green onions and stir-fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, creating a flavorful scallion oil.
Step 8
Once the scallions are fragrant, push them to one side of the pan to create space. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the empty space.
Step 9
As the eggs begin to set at the bottom, gently stir and scramble them with a spatula or chopsticks, breaking them into bite-sized pieces. Stir continuously until the eggs are mostly cooked.
Step 10
When the eggs are about 70-80% cooked and still slightly moist, mix them with the scallions that were pushed aside. Stir gently to combine the scallions and eggs.
Step 11
Now, add the 2 bowls of warm, freshly cooked rice. Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps and mix the rice thoroughly with the scallions and eggs. It’s important to ensure every grain of rice is coated with flavor.
Step 12
Finally, taste and add a tiny pinch more salt if needed to adjust the overall seasoning. Remember, the eggs are already seasoned, so only add more if necessary. A sprinkle of pepper is also a great addition if you like.
Step 13
Transfer the well-stirred fried rice to a serving bowl. Your delicious scallion oil scrambled egg fried rice is ready! Enjoy it hot.
