I think fried rice is one of my favourite quick and easy dishes to make at home. Once you know the basics of how to make a great fried rice, you can tweak the veg you use to whatever is in your fridge. Here's how I make a Chinese-style fried rice at home.
Ingredients
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ½ cup corn kernels (off the cob)
- 3 spring onions, sliced thinly, whites and greens kept separate
- 1 carrot, finely diced
- 200g ham, diced (approximately 7 oz)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp MSG
- ¼ tsp white pepper
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, completely cooled in the fridge overnight
- 3 tbsp neutral-flavoured oil
Directions
Place a wok over high heat. Once the wok is hot, add some of the neutral-flavoured oil.
- When the oil just starts to smoke, add the beaten eggs and stir-fry until they are 80% cooked. Remove the eggs from the wok and set aside.
- Add a bit more oil to the wok. Once the oil is hot, add the carrot and stir-fry for one minute.
- Add the peas and corn to the wok and stir-fry for another minute, trying to build a bit of wok hei (the distinct flavour from high-heat wok-frying) onto the vegetables.
- After 1-2 minutes, remove the vegetables from the wok and set them aside with the eggs.
- Place the wok back on the heat and add the diced ham.
- Add the rice along with sugar, salt, and MSG. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the rice is nicely broken up.
- Add both types of soy sauce to the wok and toss well, along with the greens of the spring onions.
- To serve, you can place a few spring onions at the bottom of a bowl, pile in the rice, and then turn the bowl out onto another plate for a fancy presentation.
