This recipe focuses on creating a flavorful, crispy fried rice using simple, classic Vietnamese condiments.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant (do not let it burn).
Crack 2 eggs directly into the pan. Quickly stir it up to scramble the eggs and cook them until they are mostly set but still slightly moist.
Add 2 big bowls of leftover steamed rice and stir-fry, breaking up any clumps, until the rice is heated through and coated with the egg and oil. Add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. Continue to stir-fry and toss until the rice is yellow and evenly seasoned. Stir in the chopped spring onion. For a crispy texture, press the rice down and let it rest on low heat for a few minutes. Drizzle with a dash of sesame oil before serving.
