Quick and easy egg fried rice is a simple and healthy recipe that is delicious and nutritious. Think restaurant-style fried rice, but healthier and made at home! Once you see how easy it is to make at home, you’ll think twice about ordering in again. #ad
I love to give this traditional dish a fun twist by swapping out scrambled eggs for a perfectly cooked, sunny-side up Happy Egg Free Range Blue + Brown Heritage Breed egg. It’s the perfect way to top this recipe off and marries all the flavors together.

EASY FRIED RICE RECIPE
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 small onion, diced (about 1 cup)
2 carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
4 cups cooked jasmine rice
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (If you’re gluten-free you can sub in for tamari or liquid aminos)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon coconut oil
4 Happy Egg Free Range Blue & Brown Heritage Breed eggs
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add in the onions, garlic, peppers, and carrots. Stir well and cook for five minutes or until the veggies are tender and onions are translucent.
Next, stir in spinach, peas, and scallions. Cook for another three minutes or until the veggies are tender but still vibrant.
Add in rice, low sodium soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Stir together and cook for five more minutes or until all the flavors have combined and the rice is heated through.
In the meantime, heat a small nonstick pan over low heat, add a little coconut oil to the bottom of the pan (you can also use butter or ghee), and then add one Happy Egg to the pan at a time.
Once you see the whites start to set up, add a splash of water to the pan and pop on a lid for about 30 seconds. This allows the whites to cook through but leaves the yolks super vibrant and runny.
Slide the creamy egg right over your fried rice to finish the dish. Repeat for each serving, serve, and enjoy!

yay!! I’ve been searching for a good fried rice recipe for the longest time and I’m so happy I found it:)
Yay!! I hope you enjoy this one Valerie. Thanks for watching.
Hi Dani, that looks so delicious, and I can’t wait to try.
Thanks Cathy, enjoy the recipe!
Those are some healthy looking yolks; way richer color than the box store eggs.
I know! That’s why I love them so much! The best 🙂
Happy Friday friends! I hope you enjoy this simple dinner idea and have a chance to try it soon. Enjoy the weekend + thanks for watching.! XXOO – Dani
Thank you! Being Asian, I grew up on fried rice. Love it!!! To make it healthier, skip the stove top and mix it all together first, then heat it in the oven. Using the oven, you can still add sesame oil for flavor or skip it all together. The sesame oil adds that specific flavor, that’s all- you can really use any type of oil that you want though. This looks so good. ❤
OOOO this looks amazing, gonna replace the egg with tofu and have this for dinner!
That sounds delicious!! Enjoy it.
Is there any chopped egg like in Chinese restaurants?
You can make scrambled eggs in place of the Sunnyside up eggs and stir them in at the end. That would be a more traditional fried rice recipe.
I love egg fried rice but I didn’t know it could be a healthy lunch option. <3 Will try this version at home. 😀
It 100% can be a delicious and healthy lunch option!! Enjoy it.
I’ve been looking for eggs with amber/dark golden yolks (it makes for a “wow” breakfast/lunch presentation). I’ll checkout Happy Eggs – Blue & Brown Heritage Breed. I found they are sold in the Bay Area at Luckys in San Mateo and Sprouts in Mountain View. Thanks for the tip!!
Happy Eggs are honestly the most beautiful and highest quality egg I have ever found at the grocery store! So glad you plan to give them a try.
That looks absolutely beautiful! I never realized how easy fried rice is to make. By the way, are you still planning to offer your weight loss course? I signed up to be notified but was just wondering if it’s still in the works.
Thanks Mary! It really is SO easy to make. And yes! I am still planning to launch this course but it’s been pushed back a little (sorry!) – will let you all know when it’s ready to share. Thanks for asking.
Will be giving this a try! Thank you Dani for another splendid video! Random question …how do you clean your stainless range? It looks amazing! Thanks again from Canada!
What is the best and safe non stick pan you recommend. Please let’s know. As for running egg yolks,,,,can’t stand it at all. Love the fried rice recipe.
I like Green Pan 🙂
I love your recipes! Thank you so much for uploading!
It’s my pleasure, thank YOU for watching and taking the time to comment.
This looks really delicious. I’ll be using tofu in place of egg. Thankyou
