EGG FRIED RICE - EASY!



Egg Fried Rice - Easy! image

Another from the BBC's Chinese Food Made Easy. This is the first successful egg fried rice I've ever cooked. Easy, quick and tasy. Serves four as a side dish. If you don't have groundnut (peanut) oil, use a clean oil, such as vegetable oil instead of olive oil, which is too strong. The white pepper is important for bringing out the flavours; don't be tempted to replace with the trendier black pepper, because it will add another flavour, rather than enhancing the existing ones.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your fried rice. Use the best eggs you can find, as well as fresh vegetables and cooked rice that is not too soft or mushy.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: Cold, leftover rice is best for fried rice. If you're using freshly cooked rice, let it cool completely before using it.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
  • Heat the wok over high heat: The wok should be very hot when you add the oil. This will help to create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from sticking.
  • Use a light touch: When stirring the rice, use a light touch to avoid breaking up the grains. You want the rice to remain fluffy and separate.
  • Add the eggs last: The eggs should be added last, so that they have time to cook through without overcooking.
  • Serve immediately: Fried rice is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Chinese egg fried rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and authentic fried rice that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
