A delightful twist on classic fried rice, featuring aromatic garlic and fresh scallions.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until smooth.
Whisking the eggs thoroughly ensures even cooking and a fluffy texture.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Ensure the butter is fully melted and slightly bubbling before adding the eggs.
Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook until set, then remove and chop into pieces.
Cook the eggs gently to avoid over-browning, which can alter the flavor.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and softened.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Add the cooked rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper to the skillet and stir-fry.
Use a high heat and keep stirring to achieve a slightly crispy texture on the rice.
Mix in the chopped eggs and green onions, then cook for an additional minute.
Adding the green onions at the end preserves their fresh flavor and vibrant color.
Serve the fried rice warm and enjoy.
Garnish with extra green onions or a drizzle of sesame oil for added flavor.
