# Needed Ingredients:

→ Rice

01 - 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old, chilled)

→ Eggs

02 - 3 large eggs
03 - 1 tablespoon milk or water
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Aromatics & Vegetables

06 - 4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)

→ Sauces & Seasonings

09 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
10 - 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce)
11 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

→ Oil & Garnish

12 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., canola or peanut)
13 - 3 tablespoons chili crisp (plus extra for serving)
14 - Additional sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

# Directions:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or water, salt, and black pepper.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove eggs from the pan and set aside.
03 - Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan. Sauté the white parts of the scallions and minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Add the chilled rice and break up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
05 - Drizzle in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Add the frozen peas (if using) and toss everything to combine.
06 - Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Add the green parts of the scallions and 3 tablespoons chili crisp. Stir well to distribute the chili oil and crisp bits evenly.
07 - Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
08 - Serve hot, garnished with extra chili crisp, sliced scallions, and toasted sesame seeds.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The chili crisp delivers a delicious hit of heat and crunch that feels like a chef’s secret upgrade.
  • There’s a wonderful balance between silky eggs, spicy oil, and fresh scallions—you’ll crave it more with every bite.
02 -
  • Once, I used fresh cooked rice and ended up with a sticky, clumpy mess—always use day-old rice if you can.
  • Doubling the chili crisp seemed risky, but it turned out to be the key for true spice lovers at my table.
03 -
  • If your rice feels a little too moist, spread it on a tray and chill it uncovered to dry before stir-frying.
  • Try swapping in a handful of bean sprouts or shredded cabbage for texture—just toss them in during the last minute of cooking for crunch.
