Cook the tomato first so the rice picks up juice—fried rice stays a little moist, not dry.

Steps

How to make it

Prep 7 min · Cook 9 min

Dice onion and tomato. Beat the egg with a pinch of salt and 1 tsp water until slightly frothy; fluff the rice.
Scramble the egg until half-set and set aside. In the same pan with fresh oil, sauté onion and tomato over medium-low until fragrant.
Add rice and toss; return the egg, then season with salt and soy sauce.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

Cool rice fries better—if hot, let it rest 5 minutes first.

Best fresh; if storing, refrigerate and reheat within 1 day.
