A quiet Sunday, no rush, no plans—just comfort on a plate. I whip up my go-to egg fried rice, a simple lazy hack that never fails. Sharing it with my father makes it special, turning an ordinary meal into a small weekend ritual we both look forward to.

Quick Tips

• Use cold rice (fresh hot rice becomes mushy).
• Cook on high flame for that fried rice texture.
• Add a dash of chili sauce if you like it spicy.
• Garnish with spring onions (optional).
