For the rice, heat Nutrioli® vegetable oil in a pan to make the egg. Mix the egg in a bowl with a little salt and beat with 2 chopsticks or a fork; cook the egg in the hot oil and use the same chopsticks or fork to stir in the pan until well cooked.

At the same time, heat a high, concave-sided pan or a wok, if you have one. Add a little more Nutrioli® vegetable oil to the heated pan and add the rice; mix carefully with a spatula to avoid breaking the cooked grains, for about 3 minutes, then add the green onion, incorporate, and remove from the pan. Set aside.
