Egg fried rice is one of my family’s favorite dishes! It’s a classic Chinese dish that’s so easy to make, and incredibly delicious. Growing up, my mom would make egg fried rice for us almost every week. She would always add her own special touch by arranging the vegetables in a yin-yang pattern and sprinkling some green onion on top. I remember being so impressed by the presentation of the dish, and I would try to mimic her pattern every time I made it.
As an adult, I have taken that classic dish and put my own spin on it. I like to add a variety of fresh vegetables to give the dish an extra boost of flavor and nutrition. I also like to use jasmine rice because it adds a nice nutty flavor. And, of course, I always top it off with a few pieces of green onion for a pop of color.
