Easy Egg Fried Rice – Chef’s Pro Tips

ADVERTISEMENT


Cook eggs until just set, remove from the pan, and add back later. This keeps them soft and fluffy — not rubbery or overcooked.

✅ 3. High Heat + Fast Stirring = Wok Hei Flavor

Use a hot pan and keep ingredients moving. This adds a slight “char” and depth — what pros call wok hei.

✅ 4. Don’t Overload the Pan

Cook in batches if needed. Too many ingredients cool the pan and make fried rice soggy.

✅ 5. Finish with Flavor — Not Salt

Use soy sauce, sesame oil, and a dash of white pepper to season. Add salt last only if needed.


👩‍🍳 Quick Instructions:

  1. Heat pan/wok with oil. Scramble eggs, remove.
  2. Sauté garlic and green onions for 30 sec.
  3. Add frozen veggies, cook 2–3 min.
  4. Toss in rice. Stir-fry until heated through and slightly crispy.
  5. Return eggs, add soy sauce & sesame oil. Mix well.
  6. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.

🍽️ Optional Add-Ins:

  • Diced cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu
  • Kimchi or chili oil for heat
  • A splash of oyster sauce for umami
