Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- Salt To taste
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
- Start by cooking the rice according to the package instructions. For the best results, use long grain rice or basmati rice. These varieties have a firmer texture and don't easily become mushy.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large plate or baking tray. Spread it out into an even layer to help it cool down more quickly.
- Allow the rice to cool and dry out for at least an hour. If time permits, leaving it overnight in the refrigerator will yield the best results.
- After the rice has cooled and dried, use a fork to gently fluff it up. This helps to separate the grains and prevent clumping during cooking.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok.
- Pour in beaten eggs and scramble them until they are mostly set but still slightly runny.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir-fry it, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
- This process helps to evenly distribute the eggs with the rice and ensures that each grain is coated in the delicious flavors.
- Continue cooking until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
