Method
- Gather and prep everything first: long-grain rice, olive oil, yellow onion and set within reach of the stove.
- Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
- Add the fried rice and let it weeknight, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
- Stir in the olive oil along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Off the heat, brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon and a final crack of pepper.
- Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
