Really easy egg fried rice (authentic recipe)
This literally takes minutes and you can have delicious, authentic egg fried rice at home
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp cooking oil
- 3 eggs beaten with pinch of salt
- 500 g of cold rice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 good pinch of salt
- 2 spring onions sliced
Instructions
- Heat a wok or a large pan over high heat; add 1 tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat. You want it really hot. Pour beaten eggs into the wok and scramble by moving the egg quickly in the oil.
- When the eggs are about half way cooked, add remaining 2 tbsp cooking oil and the cold rice. Using your spoon mix the rice with the eggs by breaking it down.
- Add soy sauce around the edge of the wok, so it will burn slightly for a smoky flavour. Add a good pinch of salt to your taste and combine everything well.
- Then stir in green onions and it's ready to serve
Notes
- Cold rice is essential — fresh rice will be mushy
- High heat creates the signature wok flavour
- Jasmine rice or long-grain white rice works best
- Add frozen peas, diced ham, or prawns for special fried rice
