Flavorful Scallion and Egg Fried Rice with Garlic and Oyster Sauce
I absolutely love one-bowl meals that are easy to make, eat, and clean up! Fried rice, in particular, is an indispensable one-bowl dish for me, whether I’m dining alone or packing a lunchbox for my husband. Today, I’ve made a scallion and egg fried rice packed with umami, using scallions, eggs, garlic, and oyster sauce that are always stocked at home!
Ingredients- 1 stalk of scallion
- 2 eggs
- 1 bowl of cooked rice
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- Cooking oil, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Finely chop the scallions. Ensure they are washed thoroughly before chopping.
Step 2
Thinly slice the garlic cloves. This preparation helps to release their aromatic oils.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the chopped scallions, sliced garlic, and minced garlic to the hot oil. Stir-fry vigorously over high heat for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, creating a flavorful scallion-garlic oil.
Step 5
Once the scallions and garlic are nicely browned and aromatic, push them to one side of the pan to create space for the eggs.
Step 6
Crack the 2 eggs directly into the empty space in the pan.
Step 7
As the eggs begin to set, scramble them with a spatula or chopsticks until cooked through, forming soft scrambled eggs.
Step 8
Once the scrambled eggs are ready, move them to the side of the pan along with the scallion and garlic mixture.
Step 9
Pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce into the hottest part of the pan, where the oil is concentrated.
Step 10
Allow the soy sauce to caramelize and sizzle for a few seconds until it darkens slightly. Then, gently scrape and mix it with the scrambled eggs and scallion-garlic mixture. This step adds a wonderful ‘wok hei’ or smoky flavor to the fried rice!
Step 11
Add 1 bowl of cooked rice and 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce to the pan. Stir-fry everything together thoroughly, breaking up any clumps of rice, until well combined and heated through. Your delicious scallion and egg fried rice is now ready to be enjoyed!
