How to Make Basic Oriental Fried Rice Stephen Yan

  1. Cook 2 cups of rice according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and allow to cool completely.
  2. While the rice cools, prepare your protein. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of diced chicken or pork (or your choice of protein) and cook until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion and 1/2 cup bean sprouts to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Push the cooked ingredients to one side of the wok and add another 1 tablespoon of oil. Crack 2 large eggs into the wok and scramble until cooked through.
  5. Add the cooked rice to the wok. Break up any clumps and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until heated through and slightly crispy.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (or to taste), 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and a pinch of white pepper.
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Experiment with regional additions like kimchi, shrimp, or your favorite vegetables!
  8. Enjoy your delicious and customizable Stephen Yan-inspired fried rice!
