Ingredients
• Six spring onions
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ½ tablespoon of sesame oil
• Three cups of cooked rice
• One tablespoon of soy sauce
• Vegetable oil for frying
• ½ teaspoon of sesame seed
• Three large eggs
Instructions
1. Begin by dicing the spring onions finely.
2. Break the eggs into a dish and whisk them using a fork.
3. Warm up a sizable pan on medium-high heat with a couple of spoonfuls of oil. Mix in most of the spring onions and sauté until they’re tender and release a pleasing aroma.
4. Lower the heat to medium-low, add the eggs, and gently stir to form a scramble. Cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny. Remove and set aside on a plate.
5. Increase the heat back to medium-high, pour in two more tablespoons of oil, and add the remaining green onions. Sauté until they’re soft. Mix in a spoonful of soy sauce.
6. Introduce the rice to the pan. Fry it while stirring thoroughly to break apart any lumps, until it’s well cooked.
7. Reintegrate the scrambled eggs into the pan, blending them well with the rice and breaking them up. Season with salt, pepper, sesame oil, and sesame seeds to taste.
8. Serve and enjoy!
