Chili Crisp Egg Fried Rice (Printable Version)

Fluffy eggs and day-old jasmine rice tossed with scallions and crunchy chili crisp for a spicy, savory meal.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Rice

01 - 4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled (preferably day-old)

→ Eggs

02 - 3 large eggs
03 - 1 tablespoon milk or water
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Aromatics & Vegetables

06 - 4 scallions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)

→ Sauces & Seasonings

09 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
10 - 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (use vegetarian oyster sauce if desired)
11 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

→ Oil & Garnish

12 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or peanut)
13 - 3 tablespoons chili crisp, plus extra for serving
14 - Additional sliced scallions, for garnish
15 - Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

# Method:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or water, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper until blended.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still moist, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
03 - Return the pan to medium-high, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then sauté the white parts of the scallions and the minced garlic about 1 minute until fragrant without browning.
04 - Add the chilled jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula; stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the rice is heated through and separated.
05 - Drizzle in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and toasted sesame oil; add the frozen peas if using and toss to combine so the sauces coat the rice evenly.
06 - Return the scrambled eggs to the pan, add the green parts of the scallions and 3 tablespoons chili crisp, then fold gently to distribute the chili oil and crisped bits throughout the rice.
07 - Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or chili crisp as needed to reach the desired saltiness and heat level.
08 - Serve hot, garnished with extra chili crisp, sliced scallions, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Extra chili crisp gives every bite an addictive crunch and unstoppable heat in the best possible way.
  • This fried rice is ten-minute prep and uses simple ingredients—but somehow tastes like a total treat.
02 -
  • Trying to make this with freshly cooked rice once resulted in clumpy, sticky fried rice—so chill it ahead if you can.
  • Stirring in the sesame oil right before serving makes the fragrance pop instead of fading into the background.
03 -
  • Get the wok or pan super hot before you add anything for real fried rice texture.
  • A tiny pinch of sugar mellowed out excessive spice the one time I got carried away with the chili crisp.
