Scallion oil fried rice is a comforting, flavorful dish that’s easy to master. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to elevate your leftover rice into a meal worth savoring.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked, cold rice (preferably day-old for firmness), 2 large eggs, 3-4 scallions (finely chopped), 3 tbsp cooking oil, 1 tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp sesame oil, salt to taste, and a pinch of white pepper (optional).
Steps:
1. Prep the scallion oil: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok over medium-low heat. Add chopped white parts of scallions, fry slowly until golden and fragrant (2-3 mins), then turn off heat. Stir in green parts and reserve.
2. Scramble the eggs: In the same wok, add 1 tbsp oil. Beat eggs, pour in, and scramble until just set. Remove and set aside.
3. Stir-fry the rice: Reheat the wok, add a little oil if needed. Break up cold rice with hands, add to the wok, and stir-fry over high heat for 2-3 mins until grains separate.
4. Combine and season: Push rice to one side, add scallion oil (reserve a little for garnish) and soy sauce to the center. Mix well, then return eggs to the wok. Toss everything together, adding sesame oil, salt, and white pepper.
5. Garnish and serve: Top with remaining scallion oil and extra chopped greens. Serve hot for the best texture and aroma.
This dish balances the richness of egg, the freshness of scallions, and the nutty depth of sesame oil—a perfect blend of simplicity and flavor. Enjoy!
