Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and ensures fluffier rice after cooking.
2
In a saucepan, bring 400 ml of water to a boil, then add the rice. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
3
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and chili peppers. Slice the green onion into thin rings.
4
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
5
Add the garlic and chili peppers, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
6
Create a small well in the center of the skillet and crack in the eggs. Scramble continuously until the eggs are cooked through and evenly distributed.
7
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and thoroughly mix with the other ingredients.
8
Drizzle the rice with soy sauce and stir to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
9
Garnish with freshly cut green onion and serve hot.
