Egg fried rice is a quick, flavourful dish made by stir-frying cooked rice with scrambled eggs, vegetables, and seasonings like soy sauce and sesame oil. It’s a versatile meal that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with curries and soups.
2 cups cooked rice (preferably a day old) 2 eggs 2 tbsp oil 1 small onion 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, beans) 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp vinegar Salt and pepper to taste Spring onions
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan or wok. Beat the eggs, pour them into the pan, and scramble lightly. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté onions until soft. Add mixed vegetables and stir-fry until slightly tender.
Add the cooked rice, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the rice evenly.
Add the scrambled eggs back into the pan and mix gently.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve hot.
