Looking for a homemade fried rice recipe? This easy fried rice is maximum comfort food, with three types of onions and a sriracha and mayo drizzle!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cups finely chopped onions of your choice: onions, shallots, leeks, scallions, ramps (we used onions, shallots, and green onions)
  • Kosher salt
  • Flavorless oil
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • Black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cups cooked brown or white rice (use How to Cook Rice or Instant Pot method)
  • Sriracha and mayonnaise (or Sriracha mayo), for serving

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onions. If using, slice the green onions and slice the leeks. Mince the ginger.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and a good pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until everything is nice and soft and smelling really good, 12 to 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a separate medium skillet over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with a thin layer of oil (or butter). When the pan is hot, add the eggs and cook, gently scraping up the bottom with a silicone spatula, until mostly set. Remove the eggs from the heat, season with salt and pepper, give them a rough chop, and set aside. (Alternatively, you could cook the eggs first in the large skillet, then remove them before adding the butter and cooking the onions.)
  4. Add the garlic and ginger to the onions and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. If the pan looks dry at any time, add a bit more butter or some oil. Add the rice and scrambled eggs and fold to combine. Salt the rice to taste. Increase the heat to medium-high, spread the mixture out evenly over the skillet, and let it cook, uninterrupted, until the bottom is crispy, about 5 minutes. Serve with Sriracha and mayo.
