Ingredients

3 eggs
1 large onion diced
8 cloves garlic minced
1 pound char siu cut into small bite-sized pieces
5 cups cooked white rice
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
3 stalks green onions chopped

Instructions

First, we cook the eggs! Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add a pinch of salt (optional). In a small pan over medium heat, add a little oil and scramble the eggs until just cooked. Remove the eggs to a plate and set aside.
In a large, deep pan (big enough to hold all the char siu and rice) over medium-high heat, add some oil followed by the diced onions.
Saute for 3 minutes until the onions soften.
Then add the garlic and saute for another 1 minute.
Add the char siu. Stir to mix with the onion and garlic.
Then add the cooked rice. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the rice is fully warmed through. (You'll may need a couple minutes more if the rice is coming straight from the refrigerator.)
Now we season the dish! Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Stir and mix until everything is evenly seasoned.
Then add the scrambled eggs, gently breaking up the eggs to distribute it evenly in the fried rice.
Turn off the heat, fold in the green onions. Give everything a good mix and the fried rice is ready to eat! Enjoy ^_^`
