7. Pour the beaten eggs into the center.
8. Let them sit for about 30 seconds and then scramble them until fully cooked.
9. Add the cooked rice to the skillet.
10. Pour the soy sauce over the rice and mix everything well, ensuring the Kids’ fried rice is well coated.

Tips

1. To make the Kids’ fried rice even healthier, you can use brown rice instead of white rice.
2. If your kids enjoy some heat, a tiny drizzle of sesame oil or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes can give the rice a spicy kick.
3. Leftover rice works wonders for this dish as it has less moisture and gives a better texture.
4. When adding soy sauce, always pour it around the sides of the wok or skillet, so it sizzles and then mixes with the rice.

Serving and enjoying Kids’ fried rice

1. Pair this delicious Kids’ fried rice with a side of steamed broccoli or cauliflower to bump up the nutritional value.
2. You can serve this dish with some sweet chili sauce or a mild salsa for kids who love a hint of sweetness.
3. Fresh fruit like watermelon or pineapple slices can act as a refreshing side to balance out the savory taste of the rice.
