Step 1

Gently break up the day-old rice in a bowl into smaller chunks with your hands and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop up the green onions and set aside

Step 3

In a small bowl, add in the eggs, oil, and salt and beat it until it is fluffy and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large frying pan with a bit of oil over medium heat.

Step 5

When the oil is hot, add in the rice and cook it for a few minutes. Use your utensil to break up the rice while it is hot. Cook for about 4-6 minutes

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low heat

Step 7

Push the rice aside in the pan and add in the scrambled egg mix to the pan. Let it sit for about 1-2 seconds and then use your utensil to give it a gentle mix a few times.

Step 8

Push the rice on top of the scrambled eggs and gently mix it until each grain is coated (Don't worry goopy, the egg will cook and dry out in the next steps)

Step 9

Set the stove back to medium heat

Step 10

Continue to toss and mix the rice until the egg is cooked and evenly distributed with the rice. The fried rice should look dry and not goopy and mushy. Cook for approximately 5 minutes. If the rice still looks mushy, continue to cook it until the heat dries out the eggs.

Step 11

Add in the soy sauce and mix well to evenly distribute it

Step 12

Turn off the heat and add in the green onions and mix it for 1 minute so that the residual heat cooks it.

Step 13

Serve it as a side dish and enjoy!
