Ingredients
- 380 g cooked and cooled rice day old is best
- 4 medium eggs
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon vegan oyster sauce optional
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- fine sea salt to taste
- 2 ½ teaspoon oil alternatively, peanut or sesame oil works well
- ½ teaspoon black mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds

- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 10 g white onion finely chopped
- ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1 green onion chopped, to serve, optional
Instructions
- Crack 4 medium eggs into a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly (chopsticks work excellently here) until well combined. Add ½ teaspoon soy sauce, ½ teaspoon vegan oyster sauce, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and fine sea salt to the same bowl. Whisk once again, then add 380 g cooked and cooled rice to the same bowl. Stir the eggs thorough the rice until totally coated. Set aside.
- Heat a large wok over medium-high heat. When smoking, add 2 ½ teaspoon oil. Turn the heat to medium, then add ½ teaspoon black mustard seeds. When they crackle and pop, add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds and 2 green finger chillies (chopped). Quickly add 3 cloves garlic (chopped) and 10 g white onion (chopped), stir-frying until just slightly softened.
- Add ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon coriander powder, and ½ teaspoon red chilli powder. Mix well. Immediately add the rice mixture.
- Stir continuously and cook until the egg has completely set and the rice is no longer sticky from the moisture of the egg, but dry and slightly toasted.
- Optionally through 1 green onion (chopped), then serve.
