Add rice
Break up any clumps in the cold rice with your hands or a spatula, then add the rice to the wok. Toss and stir continuously over high heat so rice grains separate and get lightly toasted, about 3–4 minutes. Press and flip portions of rice against the hot surface to remove moisture and develop slight char.

Finish with oils
Drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the rice and continue tossing for 20–30 seconds to distribute flavor.
Aromatics & Seasonings

Sauté aromatics
Before or after adding rice (at a point when the wok is hot and rice is moving), push rice to the sides of the wok leaving a small clearing. Add a quick splash of oil in the clearing if needed, then add the minced garlic and minced shallot. Stir-fry 20–30 seconds until fragrant (do not let burn).

Season rice
Mix the soy sauce and oyster sauce together briefly, then pour over the rice and toss quickly to coat evenly. Sprinkle the white pepper and the salt, tasting and adjusting if needed. Continue to stir-fry 30–60 seconds so flavors meld and excess moisture evaporates.

Final toss and serve
Add the remaining green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro (if using). Toss everything to combine and heat through for 15–20 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch more salt or soy if desired. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.
