Scallion and Egg Fried Rice Recipe
Delicious fried rice generously packed with finely chopped scallions, bringing out their fresh, aromatic flavor! Enjoy a satisfying meal that’s both simple and richly flavored. 🍳🍚
Main Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp finely chopped scallions (use plenty!)
- 2 fresh eggs
- A little diced ham (optional, to taste)
- 1 serving of warm cooked rice
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- Cooking oil for stir-frying
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a wide pan or wok over medium heat. Add the finely chopped scallions and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until their fresh, aromatic fragrance is released, infusing the oil.
Step 2
Once the scallion aroma intensifies, add the diced ham. Stir-fry them together with the scallions until lightly browned and fragrant. The ham will add a delicious savory note.
Step 3
Prepare your cooked rice. For the best texture, ensure the rice is fluffy and not clumped together. If using cold rice, warm it up slightly before proceeding.
Step 4
Push the sautéed scallions and ham to one side of the pan. Add the oyster sauce (1 Tbsp) and black pepper (1 tsp) to the empty space and let it sizzle for a moment to deepen its flavor. This step enhances the umami of the sauce.
Step 5
Add the fluffy rice to the pan. Stir-fry everything together briskly, ensuring the rice is well combined with the scallions, ham, oyster sauce, and pepper. Make sure each grain of rice is coated with the delicious seasoning.
Step 6
Move the fried rice mixture to one side of the pan again, creating space. Crack the 2 eggs into the empty space and scramble them until they are softly cooked. Once the eggs are set, gently mix them into the fried rice.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle in the sesame oil (1 Tbsp) and give everything a final quick stir to finish. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a tiny bit more oyster sauce if desired. It’s important to stir-fry quickly at the end to preserve the nutty aroma of the sesame oil.
Step 8
Your delicious Scallion and Egg Fried Rice is ready! 🍳🍚 Enjoy it hot for the best flavor.
