Egg Fried Rice is a simple, easy and quick dish made under 15 minutes with the precooked rice. This dish is stir-fried in a wok or frying pan or any deep thick bottomed pan. Fried rice is a Chinese dish in which you can add egg, vegetables, meat or seafood. Here in this recipe, I have used eggs, onions and tossed up with only pepper powder and salt.
Normally, in Chinese fried rice, sauces like soy sauce, green chilli sauce, Tomato sauce and Ajjinomotto (Mono sodium Glutamate) is essential. In this recipe, there is no addition of any sauces or ajjinomotto. You can still make this dish so flavorful, sumptuous with limited ingredient and make egg fried perfect for all ages.
