Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Crack in 3 large eggs and scramble quickly, cooking for 1-2 minutes until just set but still moist. Remove eggs and set aside.
- Step 2: In the same wok, add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Step 3: Add 1 cup diced tomato and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened, stirring frequently.
- Step 4: Add 4 cups chilled cooked jasmine rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with the back of your spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes to heat through.
- Step 5: Pour in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp dark soy sauce. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until rice takes on a rich golden brown color and sauces evenly coat every grain.
- Step 6: Return scrambled eggs to the wok along with 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, 1/4 tsp white pepper, and salt to taste. Toss everything together for another minute. Serve hot.
