Steps
Break the cold rice apart with your hands so there are no clumps.
Heat the wok until it just smokes, add oil, and swirl to coat.
Pour in the beaten eggs, let them puff for a second, then add the rice on top and toss hard to coat every grain.
Keep the rice moving over high heat so it toasts rather than steams.
Splash the soy down the side of the wok, add white pepper and most of the scallions, and toss to combine.
Finish with the remaining scallion and serve at once.
💡 Tips
- Cold, dry, day-old rice is non-negotiable — fresh rice steams and clumps.
- Get the wok truly hot before the oil goes in for that smoky 'wok hei'.
- Have everything prepped; the whole cook takes under three minutes.
