Fry the rice. Increase heat to high. Add the butter, letting it melt briefly. Immediately add in the chilled rice, green onions, soy sauce, and oyster sauce and stir briefly to combine. Continue cooking the rice for about ⏱️ 4-5 minutes, letting it rest undisturbed for about ⏱️ 1 minute between stirs so that the bottom layers can get crispy and golden.
