Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients and ensuring the rice is cold or day-old for best results.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Onion and Tomato

    Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Then add the diced tomato and cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Eggs

    Push the onion and tomato mixture to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Combine with Rice

    Add the cold rice to the skillet, mixing everything together. Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until everything is heated through.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Finally, remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.
