Egg fried rice is a classic Chinese dish that is made by stir-frying rice with scrambled eggs, vegetables, and soy sauce. It is a quick and easy dish that can be enjoyed as a meal on its own or as a side dish to accompany other dishes.
The dish typically starts with cooked rice that is left to cool and then stir-fried with eggs, vegetables, and seasonings. The eggs are first scrambled in a pan and then added to the rice to give it a rich, savory flavor. Vegetables like carrots, peas, onions, and bell peppers are often added to the dish to provide texture, color, and nutrients
