Keep the heat high and keep stirring. Add the egg and keep stirring at quickly.
Now add rice. Let it stand for 5 minutes for the ingredients to get absorbed. Stir delicately.
Remove from heat and taste it.You may add a little fish sauce or lime juice if required.

Use a non-stick pan to cook since it consumes less oil and as you are using eggs, it might stick to a normal pan, in that case just add a little oil. You can serve it with Thai chili sauce to make it spicy or top it with chopped green onions. If you are using left over rice take 2 tbsp of oil in your palm and work through the rice removing any lumps. Take care while adding stock because an excess can make your rice lumpy. You can also add a little extra oil to bring a shine to your rice.
