This is a basic recipe for fried rice that you can add to as desired. Serve it as a side with leftover vegetables mixed in, or serve it as a main dish with barbecued pork, chicken, and/or shrimp. Once you have this basic recipe mastered, you can feel free to adjust to suit your needs. We do recommend, though, that you increase the number of eggs from 2 to 3 if you do add more ingredients, just to make sure that the ratio of the egg-to-rice mixture is well-balanced.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. light soy sauce
4 cups rice (cooked and cold)
4 tbsp. oil
pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 large eggs

02

Wash and finely chop the green onion. Lightly beat the eggs with the salt and pepper.

04

Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the rice. Stir-fry for a few minutes, using chopsticks or a wooden spoon to break it apart. Stir in the soy sauce or oyster sauce as desired.
