Ingredients for Egg Fried Rice
1 tablespoon peanut oil
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
750g cold unsalted steamed white rice
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup thinly sliced spring onion greens (3 to 4 spring onions)
1 to 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok
How to make Egg Fried Rice
Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water vaporizes instantly upon contact. Add peanut oil, swirling to coat wok evenly, and heat until hot and just smoking. Add eggs, tilting wok and swirling eggs to form a thin even layer on cooking surface, and cook 30 seconds, then add rice and salt and stir-fry, breaking up eggs and letting rice rest several seconds between stirs, until rice is hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add spring onion greens and sesame oil (to taste) and stir-fry until combined well.
