Tammy's Egg fried rice

By

Origionating from China, the dish consists of steamed rice which is then stir fried in a wok. Other ingrediants are often added such as vegetables and meat. Rice dishes are found all throughout china, especially in the South, where rice is the staple grain. As this is a more westernised version I have added ginger, onion and carrots, ingrediants which wouldn't be found in traditional chinese fried rice.

Leave to simmer for 10 minutes and cover with foil. Remove from heat when all of the stock is absorbed.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables; finely dice the onion, carrots and ginger.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil to the wok and place on a high heat. Add the onion, carrots and ginger. Stir continuously for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the rice and continue to stir for another 2 minutes. Then add the egg and quickly stir. The egg should turn opaque, add the soy sauce and stir.

Step 6

Take off of the hob and wait 2 minutes before serving the rice.

​

Using pre-cooked rice would be more efficient. Alternitively using day old rice would add to the texture.
Adding meat would provide more flavour and colour.
