Instructions

  • Alright, fam, get ready to dive into the OG comfort food that'll have your taste buds doing a happy dance—Chinese Egg Fried Rice. This recipe is lowkey simple but highkey fire, and you can whip it up faster than you can say "takeout".
  • First things first, grab three cups of cooked rice (day-old works best because we're all about that dry, fluffy vibe). Heat up a solid two tablespoons of oil—peanut oil brings the drama, but any neutral oil works too—in a wok or a deep pan over medium-high heat. Toss in a tablespoon of chopped garlic and a slit green chili if you're feelin' spicy (literally). Stir that around until it smells like heaven. Now, separate the whites of your spring onions from the greens and chuck the whites into the pan. Give them a sizzle party for about 30 seconds.
  • Slide your veggies into the mix—1/2 cup each of chopped carrots, bell peppers, and shredded cabbage. Optional, but let's be real: veggies add that pop of crunch and color. Cook them on high heat for 2-3 minutes, keeping things crisp and fresh.
  • Push everything to the side like a pro multitasker and crack in 2-3 eggs. Scramble them right in the pan until they're soft but not overdone. Mix it all together like a DJ dropping the bass, then add your rice.
  • Now for the VIPs: drizzle in 1-11/2 tablespoons of soya sauce (or tamari for the gluten-free homies), 11/2 teaspoons of rice vinegar for that zesty zing, and a tablespoon of schezwan or hot sauce if you're a spice fiend. Sprinkle in ¼ teaspoon each of crushed black pepper and salt. Stir it up like your wok is on fire (it kinda is) and let the sauces coat every grain of rice in pure umami goodness.
  • Serve the chinese egg fried rice piping hot, and if you're feeling fancy, pair it with some chili oil or a side of stir-fried veggies. There you have it—an iconic recipe of Chinese Egg Fried Rice that slaps harder than your favorite playlist.
