When it comes to comfort food that you can fall back on time again, nothing beats a plate of good old fried rice. It’s quick, it’s effortless, and most of the time you can easily find the ingredients needed in your pantry and fridge.
Fried rice is one of those versatile dishes that you can add on anything you’d like to it but can never go wrong. And with that said, eggs is naturally one of my most go-to staples to incorporate.
Pattaya Fried Rice
I was inspired to prepare my eggs for this dish from nasi goreng Pattaya (Pattaya fried rice), which is super popular back in Malaysia. The fried rice is folded into an omelette wrap, then is usually drizzled with chili sauce on top.
Instead of chili sauce, I used Sriracha and added a bit of Japanese mayo–a surprisingly tasty combo! So it’s almost like an egg burrito if you think about it. I personally love this style since it gives me that perfect ratio of egg-to-fried rice with every bite. 😉
This particular recipe might take a bit more time to assemble, but I promise that it’s worth it.

Notes for Egg Fried Rice
- Use cold rice: Cold rice is best for any fried rice recipe. If you don’t have cold/leftover rice, you can cook rice beforehand and let it cool uncovered in the freezer for 15-30 minutes. The rice should not be hot or warm before frying. Otherwise, your fried rice will be mushy.
- Bowl size: The small bowl I used has a 10-13 cm diameter, similar to the bowls they use to serve rice at Chinese restaurants.
- Large pan: is best for the omelette wrap otherwise it will be hard to wrap the fried rice.
- Folding: If it’s hard to fold using a spatula, fold with clean hands or gloved hands.
