Method:-

1. Wash the rice thoroughly till the water becomes clear. Cook the rice with generous amount of water and ½ tsp. of salt till 90% done. Drain it and spread it in a plate to cool. (N.B: fluff it at intervals to avoid grains from sticking each other)

3. Pour beaten egg into the pan, and add two pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper powder. Scramble it.

4. When half of the egg is cooked, add the cooked rice and mix well.

5. Then add soya and chili sauce and stir well (with caution not to break the rice) till all the grains are well coated uniformly with the sauce.

6. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and the egg fried rice is ready.

Enjoy!!!

Note:- You can add a pinch of Ajinomoto, if needed, to enhance the taste. But I didn't since it is proved to be carcinogenic.
