We’ll show you a special technique to make it extra soft and moist: instead of scrambling the eggs in the pan, you’ll mix them with the rice beforehand in a bowl.

Main Ingredients- A little scallion, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1 bowl of warm cooked rice (1 serving)
Seasoning- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- Pinch of black pepper (optional)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- Pinch of black pepper (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped scallions and stir-fry until fragrant, creating a flavorful scallion oil. (If you’re not a big fan of scallions, feel free to use less or omit them.)
Step 2
In a separate bowl, crack the 2 eggs and whisk them well with a fork or chopsticks. Then, add the warm cooked rice and gently mix everything together with a spatula or spoon, ensuring each grain of rice is coated with the egg mixture. The key to a tender texture is to mix the rice as if you’re ‘mixing rice with egg’ in the bowl, rather than scrambling the eggs directly in the pan.
Step 3
Pour the egg-coated rice into the frying pan with the scallion oil. Stir-fry over medium heat, gently breaking up any clumps of rice with your spatula. Once the rice starts to become fluffy, pour the oyster sauce (1 Tbsp) around the edges of the pan. Continue to stir-fry for about 1 more minute, mixing it well with the rice to allow the savory flavor to penetrate. Finally, add a pinch of black pepper if desired and your delicious fried rice is ready!
