Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 cups cooked broken rice to the wok, stirring constantly to break up clumps, and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly toasted.
  3. Step 3: Push rice to the side of the wok and add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the empty space. Crack 3 large eggs into the space and scramble gently until just set.
  4. Step 4: Mix the scrambled eggs into the rice, then season the entire dish with 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  5. Step 5: Add 1 cup thinly sliced scallions and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until scallions are wilted and the rice is evenly coated with seasoning. Serve immediately.
