Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a wide pan over high heat.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and chili, and cook quickly until fragrant.
  3. Push everything to one side of the pan and crack in the eggs.
  4. Scramble lightly, then mix them into the onion mixture.
  5. Add the rice and spread it out.
  6. Let it sit briefly so it starts to crisp, then stir.
  7. Add soy sauce, chili paste, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  8. Cook for a few minutes, tossing until the rice is hot and evenly coated.
  9. Finish with green onions and serve straight away.

Typical mistakes to avoid

Don’t use freshly cooked rice — it turns soft and clumpy.
Avoid stirring constantly; letting the rice sit for a moment builds flavor.
