Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
Melt butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook without stirring for 1–2 minutes, until set. Remove from skillet, slice into thin shreds, and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the vegetable oil. Add chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
Add cold cooked rice, chopped chicken, soy sauce, and black pepper. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until heated through and well combined.
Mix in the shredded egg. Serve hot and enjoy!

Recipe Note

Chef Tips

Use Day-Old Rice: Fresh rice can be too sticky — chilled rice gives the perfect fried rice texture.
Boost the Veggies: Add diced carrots, peas, corn, or bell peppers when cooking the onions.
Protein Swap: Try shrimp, pork, or tofu for a different twist.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with egg rolls or potstickers for a complete Chinese takeout-style meal.
Pair with hot and sour soup or a fresh Asian cucumber salad.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freeze: Freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Warm in a skillet with a splash of water or in the microwave until hot.
