Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Crack in 3 large eggs and scramble them gently for 1-2 minutes until just set but still soft. Remove eggs to a plate.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet, then add 3 cups chilled cooked jasmine rice. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, breaking up clumps, until the rice is heated through and starting to crisp slightly.
  3. Step 3: Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, add 4 thinly sliced scallions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp white pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the flavors are well combined and the dish is hot.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Stir-Fried Jasmine Rice with Eggs and Scallions take to make?

Total time is about 15 minutes (5 min prep + 10 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Stir-Fried Jasmine Rice with Eggs and Scallions?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep cooked jasmine rice, chilled from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Stir-Fried Jasmine Rice with Eggs and Scallions?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Stir-Fried Jasmine Rice with Eggs and Scallions for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 3 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 3). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
