For best results, use day-old cooked rice. This will prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy. Feel free to add other vegetables like chopped carrots, peas, or green onions to customize your fried rice. A touch of toasted sesame oil at the end can elevate the flavor even further.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
In a medium saucepan, combine rice, chicken stock, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is fully absorbed (approximately 15-20 minutes).
02
Step
30 mins
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes). This step is crucial for achieving the perfect fried rice texture.
03
Step
5 mins
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring frequently, until scrambled. Break the eggs into small pieces with a spatula.
04
Step
2 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked rice and scrambled eggs, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
05
Step
2 mins
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rice mixture, sesame seeds, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
06
Step
8 mins
Cook, stirring constantly, for about 8 minutes, allowing the rice to become slightly crispy and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with more butter or soy sauce as needed.
