Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, well beaten
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
- ½ cup small diced sweet onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked and cooled leftover long-grain white rice
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 green onions (green part only), thinly sliced
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the beaten eggs to the skillet and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked and cooled rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps.
- Stir in the soy sauce, followed by the cooked eggs. Mix everything well to combine.
- Add the sliced green onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot as a side dish or main course.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice may be too soft and sticky.
- You can add vegetables like peas or carrots for extra color and flavor.
- Adjust the soy sauce to taste if you prefer a stronger flavor.
