  1. Step 1: Prepare the rice--Break the rice with a turner in a pan and make sure the rice grains are separated. This can be finished in the stir frying process too. But pre-load this step can help the beginners.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the eggs (2)--Whisk egg with a small pinch of salt.

    Uses 2 large eggs · Small pinch from the measured 1/2 teaspoon salt

  3. Step 3: Preheat a carbon-steel or cast-iron wok until very hot, then add the cooking oil (2 tbsp.) and swirl to coat. If using the source alternative nonstick pan, heat it until hot rather than smoking.

  4. Step 4: Fry the egg liquid--Add beaten egg in. Wait for 2-3 seconds and then break the eggs with chopsticks or turner. This is a lovely way because at this stage the cracks can be easily gotten.
