10 min. Easy Egg Fried Rice (only 6 ingredients!)

If you have eggs and leftover rice, this easy 10-minute fried rice recipe is the best go-to meal! Made with only 6 ingredients, this is a great main dish, side dish or meal that is budget friendly! I share tips to make it taste like Chinese takeout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (cold & day-old (or sub with any white long grain rice))
  • 1 green onion (finely chopped)
  • 2.5 tbsp regular soy sauce (or light soy sauce (avoid dark soy sauce))
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 large eggs (beaten)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok. If you are using a wok, allow the oil to smoke and if using a normal pan, skip smoking the oil.
  2. Pour in beaten eggs. Quickly stir-fry the eggs so they take shape.
  3. Once the eggs take shape but are still moist, quickly toss in rice. If rice is clumped together, break apart in pan.
  4. Sweep everything to the side of the pan, add remaining oil into empty space with green onions. Mix green onions into rice and eggs.
  5. Add soy sauce and sesame oil along the edges of the pan. Then toss until grains are colored brown. Remove off heat. Serve hot and enjoy while it's hot!
