Start by preparing the jasmine rice with a 1:1 rice to water ratio to ensure it's less sticky.

Add a little bit of oil to the rice while cooking to reduce stickiness.

Once cooked, stir the rice to break it loose and let some moisture evaporate; do not cover it.

Chop green onions, keeping the stem and leafy parts separate for different uses during cooking.

Heat oil in a hot pan over medium-high heat.

Crack 2 eggs into the pan and stir-fry until cooked, then move them to one side of the pan.

Add more oil to the empty side of the pan and add the stem part of the chopped green onion to sizzle briefly.

Mix the green onion with the eggs in the pan.

If using leftover rice, heat it up in the microwave before adding it to the pan to make stir-frying easier.

Stir-fry the eggs and rice together until evenly mixed, breaking up any clumps of rice as you go.

Season the mixture with salt and soy sauce, continuing to stir-fry until the color looks even.

Add the leafy part of the chopped green onion to the pan and give the fried rice a final toss to mix everything together.
