Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil Can substitute with olive oil or sunflower oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 green onion, diced For garnish
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, warm the sesame oil. A quick test is to drop a small amount of water into the pan; if it sizzles, it’s ready!
  2. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, whisking them together lightly. Pour them into the skillet, cooking them without stirring until they begin to set around the edges.
  3. Once the edges start to firm up, gently scramble the eggs in the center, mixing them with a spatula as they cook.
  4. Once the eggs are fully but gently cooked, add the cooked rice to the skillet. Pour soy sauce over the rice and eggs, and mix everything together thoroughly.
  5. Toss in salt and pepper to taste, stirring the mixture for a minute or two until the rice is warmed through.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the diced green onions and sesame seeds on top. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, ensure your rice is cooked and chilled if using leftovers. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
