How to Make Asian Edamame Fried Rice

  1. Whisk 2 large eggs and 2 egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately and garnish with sesame seeds (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
