Push rice to the side, scramble the beaten egg, then mix through for extra texture and that classic fried rice feel.

Plate It Up Like a Pro:

Serve a mound of fried rice in the center, surround with seared lamb chops and garlicky shrimp. Drizzle any leftover garlic butter sauce on top for full flavor takeover vibes.
