Instructions

5 steps

1
Prep the Rice: Break apart the chilled jasmine rice with wet hands to ensure there are no large clumps before cooking.

2
Scramble the Eggs: Heat a wok over high heat with 1.5 tbsp oil until smoking. Crack the eggs directly into the wok. Scramble rapidly for 15 seconds until barely set, then push them to one side of the wok.
3
Sauté Onions: Add the diced white onion to the empty side of the wok. Sauté for 30 seconds until slightly translucent.
4
Fry the Rice: Add the rice. Toss everything together vigorously. Press the rice against the hot wok walls for a few seconds at a time to create a slight char and smoky flavor.
5
Season & Serve: Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper over the rice. Toss continuously for 1-2 minutes until evenly colored. Turn off the heat, toss in the scallions, and serve with lime wedges and cucumber slices on the side.
