Scramble the Eggs

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are softened.

Combine Rice and Seasonings

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and mix well. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Add Basil and Eggs

Toss in the fresh basil leaves and scrambled eggs. Stir everything together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Serve

Remove from heat and transfer the basil fried rice to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
