Method

Prep the rice and scallions

Break up the Cooked Day-Old Jasmine Rice with your fingers or a fork so the grains are loose and separate. Slice the Scallion finely and keep the whites and greens in separate piles.

Beat the eggs

Crack the Egg into a bowl, add a pinch of Fine Salt, and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and a little foamy.

Scramble the eggs

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, then add 1 tablespoon of the Neutral Oil and swirl to coat. Pour in the eggs and stir gently with a spatula until they form soft curds and are just set, about 1 minute; transfer them to a plate right away.

Fry the rice

Add the remaining oil to the same pan, then toss in the scallion whites and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the rice, season with the remaining salt, Ground White Pepper, and MSG if using, and stir-fry for 3 minutes more, pressing apart any clumps and tossing until the grains are hot and lightly toasted.

Finish and serve

Return the eggs to the pan and add the scallion greens. Drizzle over the Toasted Sesame Oil, toss briefly until everything is combined and fragrant, then serve immediately.
