Stir in the green parts of the green onion, salt and pepper (optional),four season scallion sauce, and everyday garlic oil.
Turn the heat to high and sauté for another 3–4 minutes, tossing everything together until the rice is golden and slightly crispy in spots.
Serve it hot, top it with a fried egg, or pair it with your favorite protein.
