Egg fried rice is a quick, flavorful dish made by stir-frying cooked rice with scrambled eggs, vegetables, and a variety of seasonings, such as soy sauce, garlic, and a dash of sesame oil. The rice, ideally leftover and slightly dry, absorbs the savory flavors while remaining fluffy and separate. The eggs are cooked until soft and golden, adding a rich, creamy texture to the dish. Often enhanced with peas, carrots, onions, and sometimes a sprinkle of green onions or cilantro, egg fried rice is a versatile and satisfying meal on its own or as a side dish to accompany meats, seafood, or tofu. It’s a popular comfort food that is both easy to make and full of flavor.
