1. 1
   Separate two egg whites and one egg yolk — egg whites turn crisp when cooked while yolks stay soft, so combining them creates a nice texture contrast.
   ▶ ≈0:06
2. 2
   Heat the pan with oil until very hot, then fry the egg whites into fine strands — if the oil isn't hot enough, the egg will absorb too much oil and turn greasy.
   ▶ ≈0:20
3. 3
   Add the egg yolk into the pan and stir briefly with the egg whites — this helps prevent the rice from sticking to the pan later.
   ▶ ≈0:27
4. 4
   Add the rice straight into the pan without breaking it up beforehand — just press it flat gently with the spatula, and it will loosen naturally once you start stir-frying.
   ▶ ≈0:35
5. 5
   Drizzle in soy sauce for aroma — but since it doesn't provide enough saltiness on its own, season with additional salt.
   ▶ ≈0:42
6. 6
   Check the moisture of the rice — if it looks dry, add a splash of water or a little cooking wine to keep it moist and fragrant.
   ▶ ≈0:54
7. 7
   Plate the fried rice and enjoy it with a bite of both rice and egg together — the fragrant, slightly crispy egg keeps every bite interesting.
