1
Prepare rice
If using fresh rice, spread on a tray to cool and separate grains. Day-old refrigerated rice works best for texture.
2
Cook eggs
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil. Beat the eggs and scramble until just set. Remove to a plate.
3
Stir-fry rice
Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add the cooled rice and stir-fry, breaking up clumps, for 3–4 minutes until hot and grains are separate.
4
Season
Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Drizzle soy sauce over the rice, add salt, and stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until evenly coated and heated through.
5
Serve
Turn off heat and serve hot as a simple, plain fried rice.
