How Do You Make Egg Fried Rice?

How can I make egg fried rice like they make in my local Chinese?

  • Answer:

    DO NOT BOIL THE RICE FIRST!!! The key is to fry the dry rice first for a minute to seal all the grains.Then add twice the quantity of water or stock.Bring back to the boil,remove to a ring on it's lowest setting ,cover and leave alone for 15 mins. Then stir fry in a wok with 1 or 2 lightly beaten eggs and some frozen peas .Splash in some soy sauce and serve. This can be done in advance and kept covered in an oven on it's lowest setting. You can allow the cooked rice to cool if you like but it must have had the initial frying stage.If you have done that you do not need to let it cool ,it will still work.

First the rice. it has to be light and fluffy. in a pot. 2 cups white rice, 4 cups water. Bring to a boil- boil for 5 minutes, turn heat on stove down to medium-low. Leave it to steam only(this is what makes it light and fluffy. Too much water is what causes it to become sticky) Remember to stir around occasionally cause it may stick a little to the bottom of the pan. once that is finished allow the rice to cool down. prepare tiny chopped pieces of the green onion(forgot the name) liquid beef boullion. and one egg. heat fry pan, 1 Tbsp butter into pan scramble the egg and add the chopped onion. Add 2 cup size of the rice..sprinkling on the beef boullion liquid. Fry on Medium high. use your judgement not to burn. Salt can be added according to preference. Bon Apetite

Part boil the rice, then throw it in a dry wok on a very high heat with chopped onions for 2 min, making sure it does not stick. Then add some mild soy sauce and whatever else you want and when it looks and tastes cooked, throw in your cooked egg with a little more soy sauce. Season and eat.
