Seasoned rice is another super simple yet easy and delicious rice you can quickly make at home! This is basically a kind of simple seasoned rice with the addition of eggs!

Making Fried Rice Without Soy Sauce Or Sesame Oil

I didn't use any soy sauce, but you may also add a little soy sauce (or coconut aminos as a substitute for soy sauce) if you wish to add even more flavor, but I didn't use any of these and still this egg fried rice was yummy and my kids liked it very much.

Also, most of the fried rice recipes use sesame oil for flavor, but here no sesame oil is used as this is a simple fried rice without soy sauce or any vegetables or sesame oil and we use butter to add flavor to this fried rice.

This is because the flavor of sesame oil may be a bit too much for this simple fried rice without much ingredients.

So if you wish to replace the butter with any oil, I suggest using canola oil or peanut oil for the neutral flavor (though using butter will give the best flavor).

However, if you wish, you may also make it with sesame oil also if you like the flavor.

Adding Eggs To Fried Rice

In this recipe, we make scrambled eggs to make the fried rice.

However, you may also make fried eggs like sunny side up eggs or over easy eggs and top the fried rice if you like it that way!

Since we are making this especially for kids, this is enough for two servings.

A little garlic powder and black pepper powder are what I used to add flavor to this easy egg fried rice without soy sauce, though using black pepper powder is also optional.

Also this is a simple egg fried rice made without using a wok, since I used a very good quality iron skillet.

You may also use any good quality medium sized pan that can hold the cooked egg fried rice.

However, if you have a wok, its even great to use that to prepare this egg fried rice!

Can You Add Vegetables To This Recipe?

Yes, though this is a simple egg fried rice without any veggies which can be made in a jiffy, you can always add veggies to this easily.

To add vegetables to this, chop few mixed vegetables in small size (a mix of carrots, beans and peas will be great, but you may also use veggies like cabbage, cauliflower etc) and add the chopped vegetables to the scrambled eggs and cook lightly before adding the rice.

You may use chopped fresh vegetables or frozen vegetables mix as you like and also add a little corn kernels to make it even yummier!

You will need only about ½ cup of chopped vegetables for this amount of rice, if you want to add vegetables to this fried rice.

Adding a little chopped spring onions or green onions will also take this simple egg fried rice to the next level by easily adding more flavor to the fried rice.

For this amount of rice, 1 to 2 tablespoons of thinly chopped spring onions will be perfect and you can a little after scrambling the eggs and then add a little more for garnishing once you have prepared the fried rice.

Notes

In case the rice is more buttery than you prefer, you can gently press the contents with a paper towel which will absorb the extra butter.

You may use a little of the onions to garnish the fried rice as well.
