Whip this up in a flash on busy days! Introducing a one-bowl fried rice recipe that will whet your appetite with the perfect harmony of fresh chives and savory eggs. It’s so easy and quick to make, you’ll never get tired of its taste.
Main Ingredients- 2 large eggs
- A handful of fresh chives (approx. 30-40g, or to taste)
Seasoning & Others- 1-2 Tbsp oyster sauce (or soy sauce can be substituted, adjust to your preference)
- 1-2 Tbsp cooking oil (or butter)
- 1 bowl of cooked rice (warm rice is recommended)
- 1-2 Tbsp oyster sauce (or soy sauce can be substituted, adjust to your preference)
- 1-2 Tbsp cooking oil (or butter)
- 1 bowl of cooked rice (warm rice is recommended)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk them well, adding a pinch of salt (optional). Wash the fresh chives, pat them dry, and finely chop them into about 0.5cm pieces. If you enjoy a stronger chive flavor, feel free to use a bit more.
Step 2
Heat about 1-2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a preheated pan over medium heat. Pour in the whisked egg mixture and stir with chopsticks to create soft scrambled eggs. Be careful not to overcook them until they become firm; remove them from the heat while still slightly undercooked and set aside in a separate bowl.
Step 3
In the same pan used for the scrambled eggs (add a little more oil if needed), add the chopped chives and stir-fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sauté just until the chives soften slightly and release their fragrant aroma. Avoid overcooking, as the chives can become mushy.
Step 4
Now, add 1 bowl of warm cooked rice to the pan. Stir in 1-2 Tbsp of oyster sauce. It’s best to start with less and adjust to your taste, rather than adding too much at once. Gently break apart the rice clumps with a spatula while stir-frying. Add the prepared scrambled eggs back into the pan and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined. Once all ingredients are harmoniously blended, turn off the heat and serve in a bowl. Your delicious egg and chive fried rice is ready!
