Egg Fried Rice - Chinese Takeaway Style

on

Portions: 1-2

Ingredients

  • 250g(ish) of cold rice
  • 1 tbsp groundnut oil
  • Salt
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 eggs (beaten)

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

For extra flavour consider adding any (or all) of the following:
  • Chopped Scallions (Spring Onions)
  • Shredded Chicken
  • Prawns
  • Bamboo Shoots
  • Peas
  • Shredded Pork
  • Sliced Mushrooms
I particularly like adding chopped spring onions and sliced mushrooms.  By adding prawns, chicken and prawns etc. you have now made Special Fried Rice!

Equipment

  • Wok or large frying pan
  • Sharp Knife
  • Chopping Board
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil on a high temperature in Wok or suitable large frying pan - if when you add the rice it doesn't try to pop out of the pan on to your work surface, your oil is not hot enough!


  2. When the oil is very hot, carefully pour in the beaten eggs and constantly stir in the oil very well


  3. Add the cold rice and continue to stir, stab and mix in to the egg and oil that is already in there - continue cooking for 2 minutes


  4. Add a pinch of salt and continue to stir/mix
  5. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce and continue to stir/mix


  6. Add any of the additional ingredients listed above that you like and mix them in until they are hot


  7. Serve and enjoy!


Serving Suggestion(s)

They go very well with some homemade Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls (even if I do say so myself)!
