How to make simple Egg Fried Rice

This egg-fried rice recipe is quick and easy to make, versatile with any of your favorite ingredients, and so delicious!!

Cooked Rice: It is one of the recipes that you can make use of leftover rice that has been fully chilled. If the rice is freshly made and warm it may result in soggy and sticky clumps when making fried rice. If you have to make a new batch of rice then spread it out on a big flat pan, cover with a plastic wrap, then chill it for 30 minutes in the fridge or until it is cooled down.

Oil: I’ve prepared fried rice using different oils, and I like peanut oil for fried rice. It tastes so much better compared to other vegetable oil. If you like the flavour of butter that is also a good option.

Adding Veggies: Veggies go a long way toward adding taste and freshness to fried rice, in addition to adding some wonderful splashes of colour. Add some more wonderful stir-fried vegetables to this dish to make it more for your taste.

Sauté pan: We recommend using a nonstick or cast-iron pan for this recipe if you have one.

Notes

Peanut oil gives a nice flavour to fried rice.

For this recipe, you can use any vegetables you wish. This fried rice works well with green beans, corn, bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, and peas. It's entirely up to you how much vegetables you use. Remember that the more vegetables you use, the more moisture you'll likely bring to the wok as the fried rice cooks. This could result in mushy fried rice.

It makes no difference which colour onion you use. Onions can be red, white, yellow, or sweet. You can substitute shallots for onions if you don't have any.
