How to make (PICTURES)
- Step 1: Pat dry and season the salmon with a pinch of salt and white pepper.
Heat the wok and add some oil. Cook the salmon at 3 min per side until just about cooked through. Break into large chunks. It will cook longer, so do not fully cook the salmon.
- Step 2: Add onion and garlic. Sauté 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Step 3: Add day-old rice, put it all on an even layer and don't stir for 2 min so it crisps up.
- Step 4: Whisk the eggs.
- Step 5: Pour in scrambled eggs, let it cook for 1 minute, then fold into rice.
- Step 6: Drizzle soy, oyster, and sesame oils. Toss everything.

- Add veggies if you want.
- Don't break up the salmon too much, I like big chunks of salmon.
