Egg Fried Rice

Egg Fried Rice is a staple of Chinese cuisine and a wonderfully versatile dish that can be a simple side or a satisfying main course. The key to great fried rice is using day-old, cold rice. This allows the grains to stay separate and get slightly crispy when stir-fried. This recipe is quick, easy, and a fantastic way to use up leftover rice and vegetables. The scrambled egg adds a lovely soft texture and richness to the dish, while the soy sauce and sesame oil provide that classic, savory, and nutty flavor profile. It’s a perfect dish for a quick weeknight dinner when you’re short on time but still want something delicious and satisfying.
