Instructions

1. 1

   Prep (10 minutes total): Mince the garlic, slice the scallions, and lightly break up the cooked rice so the grains separate.

2. 2

   Scramble eggs (about 3 minutes): Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with the neutral oil. Add beaten eggs and scramble until just set, then transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   Stir-fry garlic and rice (about 6 minutes): In the same pan, add garlic and stir for 20–30 seconds until fragrant. Add the rice and stir-fry, pressing and tossing to heat through and lightly dry the grains.

   Season and finish (about 1 minute): Stir in soy sauce (and sesame oil if using). Return eggs to the pan, toss to combine, and cook until everything is hot. Turn off heat and fold in scallions.
