Servings: persons

3 tablespoons butter, softened

garlic salt (generous sprinkling)
vegetable oil, divided

1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 cup chopped scallion

1
Beat together the butter, garlic powder and garlic salt till smooth, set aside.
2
Heat a small, nonstick skillet to medium or medium-high, add a little oil, and the eggs, scramble them, I usually get them a little dry, if they are rarer, they most likely, will dissolve into the rice. Season them with some salt and pepper, adding about 1 teaspoon of the garlic butter, and a very little soy sauce. Youmay wish to place them on a board, and chop them, set them aside in either case.
3
Fry the onion in a 12-inch saute pan in about 1 tablespoon of oil, season them and cook rather brown, adding the scallions after they soften lightly. when the fond has developed on the bottom of the pan, deglaze with about 2 tablespoons wine, if, while the onions finish cooking, another one develops, deglaze with 1-2 more tablespoons wine, make sure the liquid evaporates. Turn the heat to low.
4
Stir in the eggs, a little of the butter, and some sauce, if necessary. Add the rice. Cook and stir together over low heat. Swirl in the butter, and about 2-3 tablespoons sauce. Taste and correct for seasoning.
5
Bring to table, with more soy sauce on the side.
