Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Egg Fried Rice Recipe Ingredients

2 large eggs
2 spring onions, finely chopped

1 tbsp sesame oil

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Egg Fried Rice Recipe

Prepare the Ingredients: Ensure the rice is cooled and separate any clumps before starting. Finely chop the spring onions, keeping the green and white parts separate. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them lightly.
Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of sesame oil and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs gently until just set, then remove them from the pan.
Stir-Fry the Rice: In the same pan, add the remaining sesame oil and toss in the white parts of the spring onions. Add the cooked rice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Combine Everything: Pour the soy sauce over the rice and mix well. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and gently fold them into the rice. Sprinkle the green parts of the spring onions for a fresh finish.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot as a standalone dish or as a side with stir-fries and grilled meats.

Recipe Tips

Use Day-Old Rice: Day-old rice is drier and prevents clumping.
Separate Spring Onions: Use white parts for cooking, green for garnish.
Low Heat for Eggs: Scramble eggs gently to avoid overcooking.
Even Mixing: Ensure soy sauce is evenly distributed.
Optional Add-ins: Add peas or chopped carrots for variety.
