how do you make egg fried rice?

Question

im hungry and have things in my cupborrd thta i think will be enough to make egg fried rice.

just wnting to know the secret how to mkae it like the chinees' chippys do?

also how long do you fry the rice for and do you just add the eggs in with the rice and mix it in together.

is it soya sauce you add in for the colour and that chineese taste? if so how much?

Answer 1

You should fry the vegies first and then add the rice and heat till mixed well then loose 1 or 2 eggs and spread it over the rice and then mix add chicken stock and when the egg becomes fluffy add soya suace and stir for few minutes and done

Also if you are serving for 1 1 tbls should be more than enough and for the stock you judge but I would say no more than 2 teaspoon

Answer 2

This is how I make mine -

Get rice (basmati or thai works best, but any kind will do)

Boil rice.

Meanwhile, in a wok, put a little oil in and warm that. Then break two eggs into the wok when it has heated enough. They will cook naturally, don't let them stick to the wok too much or it'll be hell to clean.

Add whatever else you want (peppers, peas etc) either with the rice or in the wok.

Drain the rice, add to wok. Mix all around. Add soya sauce. Fry the rice for as long as you like - you want it kinda crispy, fry longer, want it soft, fry only a few minutes. The egg should give it that greasy takeaway feel.

Eat.

Hope it turns out ok, and that I described enough etc.

Answer 4

A non-stick wok is best for fried rice starting with a little oil to fry egg/s which you break up in pieces and set aside. Add about 2 tablespoons of oil to fry sliced onions or garlic (optional) till transparent, put in meat (minced/fillet chicken cut into pieces or shelled prawns - choice is yours) till it changes colour and then put in your cooked rice (overnight rice is best as just-cooked rice will be a little soggy) and stir, making sure rice is not lumpy.

Next, add about 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, pepper, green peas, sliced cabbage or frozen corn. Once all ingredients are mixed thoroughly, put in the eggs. Dish out and top with spring or fried onions.

You can use just a drop of thick Chinese dark soya sauce (the caramel kind) for colour. If meat is unavailable, then just throw in those frozen packs of peas/carrots/corn.

It should take you not more than 15-20 minutes to come out with this easy dish! Try different combinations and you will come out with something you really like.

Answer 5

Fried rice:
2 cups cooked white rice
2 beaten eggs
1 tablespoon soy sauce
6 green onions, cut into 1/4 inch bits
2 celery stalks, cut into 1/8th in diagonal slivers
leftover chicken, beef, pork, or seafood (optional)

Beat the eggs with the soy.
Heat one tablespoon high quality oil (I use olive) in a wok or very large skillet.
Fry up the eggs, cut into small bits, and remove & reserve.
Add the onions & celery, stir fry until soft, add the rice and toss together.
Add meat or seafood if using. Add the eggs back in, and taste. Adjust seasonings (salt, pepper, soy sauce) to taste.
