Egg Fried Rice (蛋炒饭)
Day-old rice wok-fried with eggs, scallions, and soy sauce until each grain is separate and lightly charred.
Why It Works
Day-old rice has lost surface moisture, so it fries instead of steaming; coating grains in egg before hitting the wok gives each one a golden protein shell.
