What Makes This Spicy Egg Fried Rice Special?
The secret to this dish lies in chilli oil—it adds a rich depth of flavour with just the right amount of heat. Plus, the scrambled eggs give it a light, fluffy texture, making it a wholesome and protein-rich dish.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2-3 eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons chilli oil (adjust to spice preference)
- 1 cup cooked rice (preferably day-old rice for the best texture)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- A handful of chopped spring onions
Step 1: Prepare eggs
This meal starts with eggs. Add 2-3 eggs and a sprinkle of salt to a bowl. Whisk the eggs until they're foamy. While cooking, this makes scrambled eggs light and fluffy.
Step 2: Garlic-Infusing Oil
Heat 1-2 teaspoons of chilli oil in a big skillet or wok on medium. You may use additional chilli oil if you want it spicy. After heating the oil, stir-fry 3-4 cloves of minced garlic for 30-40 seconds till aromatic.
Step 3. Scramble Eggs
Pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Wait a few seconds before gently scrambling with a spatula. Stir to make little curds, but don't break them. Follow the following step when the eggs are almost set but still soft.
Step 4: Add rice and spring onions.
After preparing the eggs, add the star ingredient—rice. Use a spatula to break up 1 cup of cooked rice and combine it with the scrambled eggs.
After properly distributing the rice, add a handful of chopped spring onions.
Step 5: Add Soy Sauce and Extra Chilli Oil.
Now, combine all the flavours. 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce should evenly cover the rice. The meal tastes rich and caramelised with dark soy sauce, which is thicker and has more umami. Cover all rice grains with sauce by stirring.
For more spiciness, sprinkle more chilli oil over the rice. The chilli oil adds heat and shine, making the meal look as good as it tastes.
Step 6: Stir, serve, and enjoy!
Garnish the dish with chopped spring onions. Savour every bite of Spicy Egg Fried Rice served hot!
