VEGETABLE EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil until a wisp of white smoke appears. Add the garlic and onion, saute 30 seconds. Add the beaten eggs and immediately add the rice, gently press down in small circles to separate the rice grains.
• Stir in the carrot and bell pepper and cook for about 1 minute. Don't be afraid to scrape rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. Fold in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, white pepper and salt. Continue to stir and fold for about 2 more minutes. Cook until the rice absorbs the sauces and is slightly crisp on the edges.
• Fold in the green onions and serve immediately.

EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a wok or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of butter.
• Whisk in the eggs and cook, stirring often, until set. Transfer to a plate.
• Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add onion and cook until translucent; about 2 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning. Stir in garlic, then add frozen vegetables and cook until heated through. Season with a pinch of salt.
• Soften 2 tablespoons of butter in the center of the skillet, then add cold rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Press down into the pan to brown the rice lightly for a couple of minutes - you'll hearing popping and sizzling and that's what you want - then stir and repeat a few times. It's ok if the rice is chunky; it will break up a bit as it warms.
• Return the egg to the skillet and stir to heat through.
• Remove from heat, then stir in 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Use more or less based on your liking.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions and serve immediately.
• Store leftovers in a tightly sealed container for up to 3-4 days. Microwave to reheat.

EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Add 1 tbsp of the oil in a large wok. Add the onion and cook, stirring regularly on a medium heat for 5 minutes until the onion starts to turn soft and translucent.
• Add in the remaining vegetable oil and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook for a further 30 seconds, stirring regularly.
• Add the rice and turn up the heat to high. Then drizzle over the sesame oil.
• Use a spatula to toss everything together and to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Keep moving the rice around so that it's all getting reheated.
• Once the rice is hot (this will take about 5 minutes), push the rice over to the side of the pan and crack the two eggs in the space. Add a little splash (about 1/4 tbsp) of the soy sauce to the eggs.
• Making sure the part of the wok with the eggs in is over the heat, fry the eggs, giving a mix with the spatula until the egg starts to cook and look scrambled, but is still a little runny.
• Now mix the egg into the rice.
• Pour in the remaining soy sauce (about 1 3/4 tbsp), sprinkle on the 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of garlic salt and mix it all together.
• Add 1/2 tbsp of the lemon juice, stir and taste. Add a little more lemon juice if required.
• Divide between 4 bowls. Top with spring onions (scallions).
• Serve with your favourite Chinese dish. I love to serve it with Crispy Sesame Chicken or Sweet and Sour Chicken or Sticky Pork Belly.

EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Wash rice and soak for 30 mins. Meanwhile bring 5 to 6 cups water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Drain the water from the soaked rice and add it to the boiling water. If you want you can add half teaspoon salt and cook.
• When the rice is cooked al dente (meaning the rice has a bite to it and not fully cooked), drain it to a colander. Do not over cook the rice. Cool completely.
• Chop the veggies and garlic. Break the eggs to a bowl and beat until fluffy.
• To be cooked on high flame. Heat a pan with oil, add chopped garlic. Fry for 30 seconds. Add spring onion whites and fry for a minute.
• Add chopped veggies and fry for about 2 minutes. Do not make them mushy, they should be crunchy and half cooked. Slide the veggies to one side of the pan.
• Reduce the flame to medium. Pour eggs and scramble them. Cook till they are soft, fluffy almost cooked but not overcooked.
• Increase the heat and pour the soya sauce, vinegar and any hot sauce if you prefer. The soya hits the hot pan and emits some steam. This imparts a nice Chinese flavor.
• Add cooled rice, ground black pepper and spring onion greens. If you want you may add some toasted sesame oil and it's optional.
• Fry on the highest flame for about 2 minutes. Adjust salt and spice as needed.
• Garnish egg fried rice with some spring onions and serve.

EGG-FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Cook the rice following pack instructions, then drain, spread it out to steam-dry and set aside.
• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large wok over a high heat, then add the onion and fry until lightly browned, around 5 mins. Add the rice, stir and toast for about 3 mins, then move to the side of the pan.
• Add the remaining oil, then tip in the egg mixture. Leave to cook a little, then mix in with the rice - stir vigorously to coat the grains or, if you prefer the egg chunkier, allow to set for a little longer before breaking up and stirring through. Tip into a serving bowl and scatter over the spring onion to serve.

THE EASIEST EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them together.
• Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the beaten eggs and scramble them for about a minute. Transfer the eggs to a dish and turn off the heat.
• Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into a wok over high heat. Add the onions and cook them for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the mixed vegetables and white parts of the scallions and cook for 2 minutes. Season the vegetables with a pinch of salt.
• Add the cooked rice into the pan or wok and cook for several minutes, until the rice is heated through. If there are large clumps of rice, break them apart with the back of your spatula.
• Add the soy sauce, five-spice powder, dash of white pepper (if using) and sesame oil and stir to distribute the seasonings. (See note 6) Add the scrambled eggs and stir to mix again. Garnish with remaining sliced scallions. Serve immediately.

EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Use a fork to fluff up the rice and break it apart. If you're using freshly cooked rice, let it stand on the counter uncovered until it stops steaming before fluffing it. If you decide to refrigerate the rice overnight in advance of preparing this recipe, it will clump up; you can then use your hands to break up the cold rice clumps into individual grains.
• Beat 3 eggs in one bowl. Beat the other 2 eggs in another bowl, along with 2 tablespoons water, the paprika, and the turmeric. Set these two bowls aside.
• Heat a wok over medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the 3 beaten eggs (without the spices), and scramble them. Remove them from the wok and set aside.
• Heat wok over high heat, and add the last tablespoon oil. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the rice and stir-fry for 2 minutes, using a scooping motion to heat the rice uniformly. Use your wok spatula to flatten out and break up any rice clumps. Next, pour the uncooked egg and spice mixture over the rice, and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until all of the rice grains are coated in egg.
• Add the peas and stir fry continuously for another minute. Next spread the salt, sugar, and black pepper over the rice and mix. You should now see some steam coming off the rice, which means it is heated through.
• If the rice looks a little dry, feel free to sprinkle in some water or chicken stock. Adding some liquid directly to any remaining clumps of rice will also help to break them up. Mix in the scrambled eggs and scallions and serve!

FRIED RICE WITH EGG

Steps:

• At least 1 day before you plan to make the fried rice, place the rinsed rice in a heavy, medium-sized saucepan. Add 2 cups of cold water and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, and cook at a gentle boil until the water has cooked down to the level of the rice. With a spoon (not a fork), stir the rice well. Cover, and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork. Cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for 24 hours.
• Break up any clumps of the cold rice with your fingers and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the oyster sauce and soy sauce and set aside.
• Coat a large, nonstick skillet with nonstick vegetable spray and set over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the eggs, swirling them around to make sure they coat the whole bottom of the pan. Cook, without stirring, and adjusting the heat as necessary, until the eggs are firm and cooked through but not yet starting to brown, lifting the skillet and tilting it so that the eggs cook evenly. Slide the eggs onto a plate and when they have cooled, cut into small pieces and set aside.
• Return the skillet to the burner and heat the oil over high heat. When it is hot, add the peas and scallions, and cook, stirring constantly, until the scallions are limp, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, sauce mixture, eggs and roast pork until well mixed. Continue to cook, stirring, until the rice is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Plate and drizzle with sesame oil, to taste.
