1. Prepare the Eggs
Beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the beaten eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Sauté the Garlic
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion (if using). Sauté until fragrant and golden.
3. Add the Rice
Add the cooked rice to the pan and toss to combine with the garlic and onion.
Spread the rice out in the pan and let it toast slightly for a minute or two, creating a lightly crispy texture.
4. Season the Rice
Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Stir well to coat evenly.
5. Combine with Eggs
Return the scrambled eggs to the pan, breaking them into smaller pieces. Mix them into the rice thoroughly.
6. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy!
Pro Tips for Divine Results
Use Day-Old Rice: Fresh rice can be too moist and sticky. Day-old rice works best for achieving that perfect fried rice texture.
Cook on High Heat: High heat helps the rice get slightly crispy and prevents it from becoming mushy.
Customize: Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers, or toss in cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal.
Why It’s Divine
Rich Flavors: The garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil create a savory, aromatic base.
Perfect Texture: Crispy edges on the rice combined with fluffy eggs make every bite irresistible.
Quick and Easy: It’s ready in under 20 minutes and uses pantry staples you likely already have.
