Soy Sauce Fried Rice
A quick, savory fried rice made with day-old jasmine rice, soy sauce, soft scrambled eggs, and fresh green onions. Fast, pantry-friendly, and totally customizable for weeknights.
Ingredients
- 4 cups day-old cooked rice (jasmine or long grain)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (optional, for color and richness)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance saltiness)
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), sesame oil, and sugar; set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add beaten eggs and scramble just until set. Transfer eggs to a plate.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add rice and stir-fry 2–3 minutes, breaking up clumps and spreading it out so it heats evenly.
- Pour the soy mixture around the edges of the pan and toss to coat the rice. Cook 2–3 minutes more until the rice is hot and lightly toasted.
- Return scrambled eggs to the pan and add green onions. Stir until evenly combined and heated through.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.
