    1

    Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Wait for about 2 minutes until the oil is hot.

    2

    Add the green onions and sauté for about 1 minute until they are fragrant.

    3

    Push the green onions to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the open space. Scramble the eggs gently for about 1-2 minutes until they are fully cooked.

    4

    Combine the cooked rice with the egg and green onion mixture in the pan. Stir well for another 2 minutes until everything is well combined.

    5

    Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice. Stir to ensure the rice is coated in the sauce over the next 2 minutes.

    6

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well.

    7

    Remove from heat and serve immediately, optionally garnishing with more chopped green onions if desired.

How to be creative
  • Incorporate leftover meats like chicken or beef for a heartier version.
  • Add a splash of gochujang (Korean chili paste) for a spicy kick.
  • Experiment with different toppings like seaweed flakes or kimchi for added flavor.
Important Tips
  • Use day-old rice for the best texture, as it will be drier and won't clump together.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste; feel free to add a little more soy sauce or sesame oil for richer flavor.
  • Add some vegetables like peas or carrots for extra nutrition and texture!
