It also serves four generously, so you may feed your family or have leftovers. I use day-old rice for the best texture. This keeps my grains airy and separate. I appreciate the tenderness of separate-cooked eggs. I often add bright vegetables for color and nutrition. I love this recipe's secret sauce. I add soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and garlic powder to produce a fantastic umami-rich sauce. Prepping and stir-frying my items in a hot skillet or wok makes cooking easier. Egg fried rice—side dish or meal? It's delicious with chicken, shrimp, or tofu. As you enjoy every bite, remember the rich history and global adventure that made this comfort food.
