Heat a dry large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until very hot and wisps of smoke appear, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Swirl 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in skillet to coat. Pour in egg mixture, swirling pan to coat. Cook, undisturbed, ⏱️ 5 seconds, then stir in a circular motion with a heatproof rubber spatula or wooden spoon until curds are just set, about ⏱️ 20 seconds more. Scrape eggs into a small bowl.

Wipe out pan and return to medium-high heat. Drizzle in 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil. Add 5 cups chilled cooked white or brown rice and 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. soy sauce or tamari; sprinkle with 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt and toss to combine. Cook, tossing constantly, until rice is softened and heated through, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Add one 2" piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped, and cook, tossing to distribute and adding up to 2 Tbsp. more oil if pan looks dry, until mixture is fragrant, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Increase heat to high and continue to cook, undisturbed, until rice is crisp underneath, about ⏱️ 3 minutes more.
