  • Cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes or until rice is coated, lightly browned, and the eggs are cooked through.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle in lemon juice and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
  • Remove from heat and place in serving bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  • Serve with sliced green onion and sesame seeds on top. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use leftover white rice or day-old rice for best texture. And keep it chilled before adding to the pan.
  • For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of oyster sauce or hoisin sauce.
  • To cut down on the salt, use a low-sodium soy sauce.
  • For more of a tang or bite, sprinkle in some rice vinegar or Shaoxing wine.
  • Use any leftover rice: jasmine rice, brown rice, long grain, or basmati rice.
  • If using fresh or canned peas, add per recipe instructions. Use frozen peas and add when cooking onion and carrot.
  • Use ribeye, sirloin, flank steak, or filet mignon cuts of steak for best flavor and tenderness in your steak fried rice.
