Step 1
Loosen the rice grains as much as possible with chopsticks or a spoon. Lightly beat the eggs until the whites and yolks are fully incorporated.
Step 2
Heat up an empty, well-seasoned wok over high heat until it becomes very hot (smoke rises). Pour in 1 tablespoon of oil then swirl it around to coat the side of the wok. N.B. See footnote 2 if using a cookware with non-stick coating.
Step 3
Pour in the egg. Once it begins to set at the bottom, stir to help the running part flow. Use a spatula to scramble quickly so that it turns into small pieces. Transfer out and set aside.
Step 4
Place the wok back on the burner. Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of oil. Fry garlic until fragrant then add the rice. Stir and toss continuously until the rice is piping hot. Use the spatula to break any clumps.
Step 5
Return the egg to the wok, along with scallions. Continue frying until everything is heated thoroughly.
Step 6
Season with light soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and white pepper. Give everything a good stir. Dish out and serve immediately.
