Instructions
 

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop scallions. Beat eggs and mix with garlic ginger soy sauce.
  2. Prepare the Pan: Heat a large wok or frying pan over medium heat. Add the sesame oil and spread to coat the pan.
  3. Stir-fry the Egg: Pour in the beaten eggs and allow them to set until they start to cook slightly. Once the edges begin to firm up, use a spatula to stir-fry the eggs gently.
  4. Stir-fry the Rice: Add the cooked rice and chopped scallions, and stir-fry with the eggs until everything is well combined.
  5. Season: Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the leftover chahan in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
  • Leftover rice or frozen rice works best for chahan. Just warm it up a bit before stir-frying. I don't recommend freshly cooked rice as it can become soggy.
  • When stirring the rice, use a spatula to cut through the stir-fry quickly. Avoid pressing down too hard from the top, which can crush the rice.
