Welcome to the video and introduction to the dish.

Mention that the dish is quick, comforting, and uses leftover rice.

Explain the importance of using non-sticky rice for fried rice.

Add 5 ml of olive oil to a stainless steel pan and heat on high flame until the oil starts to form lines, about 3 minutes.

Turn off the flame for 30 seconds to 1 minute to let the pan cool slightly.

Switch the flame to medium heat and add 2 eggs to the pan, stirring quickly to scramble them into medium-sized chunks.

Wait for the eggs to release their aroma before adding the rice.

Add the rice to the pan, stirring to combine with the eggs without breaking the scrambled egg chunks too much.

If using leftover rice, gently press and separate clumps with a spatula.

Turn the flame to low heat to caramelize the soy sauce, creating a small space in the center of the pan.

Add 10 ml of soy sauce to the center of the pan once it has cooled slightly.

Quickly mix the rice and eggs together as soon as the soy sauce bubbles, which should take 2 to 3 seconds.

If the flame was turned off, turn it back on to medium and stir-fry for 10 to 15 seconds to enhance the aroma of the dish.

Taste test the fried rice and discuss the flavors, suggesting adjustments to soy sauce for saltiness if desired.
