ASIAN ESSENTIALS: EGG FRIED RICE
People that know me, know that I love rice... In all its brilliant forms. If you have ever been to an Asian restaurant, you probably have had egg-fried rice. It is usually fried with onion, and veggies. While that is good, sometimes, I just want some rice, with eggs and Asian seasonings. And, that is what this recipe is all...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. About the rice. This recipe is best made with day-old cooked rice; however, there is a trick that you can use. Cook the rice according to package directions, then spread it out on a baking sheet, and let cool, and dry for an hour or two. It is not the same as using day-old rice, but it is pretty close. FYI: When making this recipe, I cook the rice with chicken stock, not water.
- 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 4. Place the three eggs into a bowl, add a bit of pepper, and whisk until combined.
- 5. Add a tablespoon of the grapeseed oil to a skillet over medium heat, allow to heat up, then add 2/3 thirds of the egg mixture.
- 6. Chef's Note: You do not have to be precise; however, of the whisked eggs, add about two of them, and leave the remainder in the bowl.
- 7. Lightly scramble, then remove from the pan, and reserve.
- 8. Add the remaining tablespoon of grapeseed oil to the skillet, let come up to temperature, and add the rice.
- 9. Use a spatula to lightly toss the rice until it heats up, then add the remaining whisked egg.
- 10. Toss until the egg is combined with the rice, and beginning to cook, then add the tamari sauce, and sesame oil.
- 11. Toss to combine, then add the reserved scrambled eggs.
- 12. Toss to combine with the rice, until warmed through, about 2 - 3 minutes.
- 13. Chef's Note: Do a final tasting for proper seasoning.
- 14. PLATE/PRESENT
- 15. Serve by itself, or with chicken, pork, or even fish. Enjoy.
- 16. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:
- Asian Fried Egg is an irresistible combo: a fried egg atop fragrant Jasmine Rice, drizzled with soy sauce and sprinkled with crisp nori - simply delicious! Step 1
- Heat rice according to package directions. Step 2
- Add oil to a small skillet set over medium high. Fry egg for 3 minutes until the whites are set. Step 3
- Serve egg over rice. Step 4
- Top with soy sauce and garnish with nori. Flavor Tip Add sesame seeds and chili oil for added flavor and spice.
Tips:
- Use day-old rice: Freshly cooked rice is too moist and sticky for fried rice. Day-old rice has had time to dry out and will separate better in the pan.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet.
- Use high heat: High heat is essential for getting the perfect texture in fried rice. The rice should sizzle and pop in the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the rice will steam instead of fry. Cook the rice in batches if necessary.
- Use a variety of ingredients: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, protein, and sauces to your fried rice. Some popular additions include shrimp, chicken, eggs, peas, carrots, and soy sauce.
- Serve immediately: Fried rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. The rice will start to dry out and become less flavorful if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Egg fried rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it is also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With a little practice, you can make restaurant-quality egg fried rice at home.
