How to Make Perfect Soy Sauce Egg Fried Rice

Soy sauce egg fried rice is a comforting, quick dish loved worldwide. Here’s a simple guide to mastering it.

Ingredients: 2 cups cooked rice (day-old works best), 2 eggs, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 cup diced veggies (like carrots or peas), 2 sliced green onions, and 2 tbsp oil.

Steps:

1. Prep: Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Flake cooked rice with your fingers to separate grains.

2. Cook eggs: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in eggs, scramble until just set, then remove.

3. Stir-fry veggies: Add more oil if needed, sauté veggies until tender (1–2 minutes).

4. Fry rice: Add rice to the wok, breaking up clumps. Push rice to one side, drizzle soy sauce on the other side, and mix until grains turn golden brown.

5. Combine: Return eggs and veggies to the wok. Pour sesame oil and sprinkle green onions. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until everything is heated through.

Tips: Use high heat for a slightly crispy texture; adjust soy sauce to taste. For extra flavor, add a dash of white pepper or minced garlic. Serve hot and enjoy this savory, satisfying meal!
