The Perfect Egg Fried Rice

This egg-fried rice recipe is my go-to dish to whip up for a midnight snack when I get a late-night craving. This is my favorite quick and easy way to prepare eggs.

Ingredients

Rice
Fried Rice

Instructions

How to Cook Rice
  1. In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse 2 cups of medium-grain rice until the water runs clear.
  2. Drain the rice to remove excess (and residual) water.
  3. Add the rice to a medium-sized pot.
  4. Add 2 ½ cups of water.
  5. Bring the pot to a full, hard boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low.
  7. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
  9. Fluff with a fork or rice paddle.
Fried Rice Method
  1. Add 2 egg yolks to 2 cups of cooked rice. Fluff it with a fork to ensure that the egg yolk is well incorporated with the rice.
  2. Preheat a large, Nonstick 10" Frying-Pan on medium heat for 30-60 seconds
  3. Add a few drops of water to the pan. If the drops evaporate upon contact with the pan, add 2 tbsp. of cooking oil to the pan.
  4. Add the whites from 2 large eggs to the pan. Scramble the egg whites for 3 minutes on high heat. [cook eggs 'well done']
  5. Add ½ tsp. of minced garlic, 2 tsp. of fish sauce (or soy sauce), and 1 tsp. of toasted sesame oil
  6. Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes on high heat.
  7. Add 1 tbsp. of sliced scallions.
  8. Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes on high heat.
  9. Add the cooked rice and egg yolk mixture. Saute for 3 minutes on high heat, or when the temperature of the rice mixture reaches 160℉. Continually stir the fried rice mixture to incorporate the eggs, rice, and alliums.
  10. Saute for 3-5 minutes. Or until the rice starts to slightly caramelize. Rice should not be clumpy. Make sure to continuously stir the pot (with a non-metal spoon) to cook the mixture evenly.
  11. Season with a light pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper (optional)
  12. Take Frying-Pan off the heat.
Assemble
  1. In an 8 oz. bowl add 1/2 cup of fried rice
  2. Garnish the bowl with sliced scallions
