Simple Fried Rice with Egg Recipe
Super Easy Ketchup and Egg Fried Rice!
A quick and satisfying meal using leftover rice and eggs from your fridge! This ketchup and egg fried rice is a favorite among kids and adults alike. It’s simple yet packed with flavor and nutrition.
Main Ingredients- 2 large eggs
- A small amount of scallions, finely chopped
Seasonings- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Ketchup (to taste)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Ketchup (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Crack 2 fresh eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the finely chopped scallions. This combination creates a fragrant base for your fried rice. Season with a pinch of salt to enhance the egg’s natural flavor.
Step 2
Gently whisk the eggs, scallions, and salt together until well combined. You want to ensure the yolks and whites are blended and the scallions are evenly distributed. Avoid over-whisking; a few quick strokes will suffice.
Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Pour in the whisked egg mixture. As the edges begin to set, gently stir with a spatula or chopsticks to create soft scrambled eggs. Cook briefly until just set, as overcooking can make them tough. This quick cooking is key to a tender texture.
Step 4
Push the scrambled eggs to one side of the pan. Add your cooked rice to the empty space. Gently break up any clumps of rice with your spatula and stir-fry. Once the rice is heated through, combine it with the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle in a pinch of black pepper at this stage to boost the aroma and flavor of both the rice and eggs.
Step 5
Now it’s time for the star of this fried rice: ketchup! Drizzle the ketchup over the rice in a zigzag pattern, adjusting the amount to your preference. Add more for a tangier, sweeter flavor, or less for a subtler taste.
Step 6
Continue stir-frying until all the ingredients are well combined and the rice is evenly coated with the ketchup. This ensures every bite is flavorful. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste!
