Ginger and Egg Fried Rice

Have any leftover rice in the fridge?

Here is a very simple way to bring it back to life.

This is one of my favorites with the nice fluffy eggs and heat from the ginger.

Let's fry some rice!

Ingredients:

eggs

ginger

scallion

leftover rice ( it's best to use day old rice to avoid mushy texture result)

Seasoning:

soy sauce

white pepper

fish sauce

Oil a well heated wok, add ginger and scallion for a few second to flavor the oil then add the rice and toss well, breaking the clumps of rice at the same time.

Move rice to the side of wok and add the eggs, let it cook while stirring it slowly.

When eggs are half way cook, toss with rice.

Add the seasonings and toss all evenly.

Tasty and simple.

It is light enough to pair with another dish or as is with some garlic chili.

Enjoy!
