Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add shallot and garlic, cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then add cold rice, breaking up clumps with a spoon.

  3. Step 3

    Stir-fry rice 4–5 minutes until edges start to brown and crisp. Pour soy sauce and vinegar over, toss to coat.

  4. Step 4

    Push rice to the side. Crack both eggs into the empty space, let them set 30 seconds, then scramble and mix into the rice.

  5. Step 5

    Cook 1 more minute until eggs are fully cooked, stirring gently. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a plate, top with cucumber slices, and serve immediately while rice is still crispy.

Tools you’ll need

  • large skillet (12-inch)
