Simple egg fried rice recipe

I can’t recall who it was but someone on here asked for my egg fried rice recipe. I made this last night and here’s my favorite version. You need:

2 Tbsp of bacon fat/lard/oil
2 cracked eggs in a small bowl
2 cups of day old white rice
1 large clove of garlic chopped
1 stalk of scallion chopped
chicken bouillon powder or salt to taste

high heat a wok or pan and add 2 tablespoons of render bacon fat. I use Bacon Up brand. I’ve also used lard and oil before and rendered bacon fat>lard>oil.

Wait till you see smoke coming out of the pan an add the eggs.


Scramble the eggs for 5 seconds. Add chopped garlic.


Stir around eggs and garlic for about 10 seconds. Add rice.



Use a ladle or spatula to break up the rice. Make sure the rice granules are coated by the bacon fat. Stir for a minute or so. Lower the heat and season the rice. I’ve seasoned this dish with salt/fish sauce/soy sauce/chicken bouillon powder individually and in various combinations. IMO the best is just the powder. I use Lee Kum Lee brand.



After you’re ok with the taste, add the chopped green scallions. Stir about a little bit to make the chopped scallions wilt a bit. Turn off heat and plate rice.




Good, cheap and easy to make.
