Answer 2

You probably mean egg fried rice, right? (If not just leave out the egg in the below, lol.)

Cook rice as normal. In a frying pan, heat some oil or butter. If you like, you can sautée some onions in it - I always do, but it's really a matter of taste.

Add the rice. Stir it a lot. If you want, add some shredded carrots or other veggies. Just as the rice begins to brown, push it all over to one side of the pan.

In the empty space, ad a bit more oil. Put one egg (or more, if you're making a lot) in the empty space. Scramble it with a whisk or fork, adding salt. (Basically like scrambled eggs).

when it's about half- done (i.e. starting to get solid, but not really solid yet), quickly mix the egg with the rice. Stir well, and fry for another minute or so. Salt and pepper to taste. (Or add some soy sauce instead of salt, if you have it.)

Enjoy! :)

In the upper right-hand corner, in the linkbox under "More of this Feature" you'll find several recipes that illustrate different ways of making fried rice. The first recipe - Fried rice with ham - uses thick soy sauce to give the rice a darker color. This is the way fried rice is often served in American restaurants and take-out establishments. The second recipe - Sun Ya Fried Rice - is a Cantonese dish made with shrimp, roast pork, and chicken. The third is an authentic recipe for Yangzhou or Yangchow fried rice.

Finally, here are a few basic tips for cooking rice:

* Always use long grain rice - short grain rice is used only for desserts and snacks in Chinese cooking.
* Rinse the rice in water to get rid of excess starch.
* Use 1 cup rice to 1 1/2 cups water. For example, when cooking 2 cups of rice you would use 3 cups of water.
* Bring the rice to a boil at medium heat (about 4 on the dial).
* When boiling, turn the heat down to medium low (about 3) and tilt the lid on the pot. This allows the steam to escape.
* Let the water evaporate. When you can see craters (holes) in the rice, put the lid on tight.
* Turn the heat to low, and simmer for another 15 minutes.
* Fluff up the rice, and serve.

General Info:

Lightly fry the rice in a pot with oil(butter), dry fruits, nuts, semi-cooked meat and spices that you were able to taste at the restaurant, then add water and cook per instruction on the package of rice, you need to use about 20% to 25% more water.

Answer 8

1/3 cup peanut oil
4 large free-range eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon peanut oil, extra
11/2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
4 garlic cloves, diced
1 medium-sized brown onion, finely diced
1/2 cup roughly chopped rindless bacon rashers or Chinese sausage
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing wine
5 cups cooked medium-grain white rice
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 cup finely sliced spring onions (scallions)
3 teaspoons Maggi seasoning
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced on the diagonal
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/2 large red chilli, finely sliced on the diagonal

Heat oil in a hot wok until the surface seems to shimmer slightly. Pour beaten eggs into wok and cook for about 1 minute, lightly scrambling them and rotating the wok to ensure even cooking. When almost cooked through, carefully remove omelette from wok with a fish slice and drain on kitchen paper. Set aside.

Wipe out wok with kitchen paper, add extra oil and stir-fry ginger and garlic for 1 minute, or until very aromatic. Add onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender. Add bacon and stir-fry for a further minute, or until lightly browned. Stir in sugar and wine, then stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Finally, add rice, reserved omelette, oyster sauce, spring onions, Maggi seasoning and sesame oil. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until rice is heated through. Roughly chop omelette into smaller pieces as you stir.

Divide rice between individual bowls and garnish with extra spring onions. Combine soy sauce and chilli in a small bowl and serve on the side.


tip: this will give you fried rice like the restaurant. Make sure you use jasmine or meduim grain rice as it does not hold very much moisture. You definetly need a wok or very high heat.

Good luck
