THE EASIEST EGG FRIED RICE



The Easiest Egg Fried Rice image

Try to use day-old rice. This ensures that there isn't too much moisture in the rice so that the fried rice does not end up being too mushy. If you are cooking rice on the same day, let the rice cool completely before stir frying. If you want more flavor, you can add a drizzle of my teriyaki sauce or hoisin sauce. If you need more visuals, check out the video at the bottom of this recipe.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs
3 tablespoons peanut, vegetable, or olive oil (divided (see note 1))
1 cup diced onion (about 1 small onion (see note 2))
1 1/2 to 2 cups diced mixed vegetables (such as bell pepper, carrots, zucchini, etc. (see note 3))
1/2 cup sliced scallions (white and green parts divided (see note 4))
pinch of salt
4 cups cooked overnight jasmine rice (see note 5)
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari if gluten free)
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
dash of ground white pepper (optional)
1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them together.
  • Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the beaten eggs and scramble them for about a minute. Transfer the eggs to a dish and turn off the heat.
  • Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into a wok over high heat. Add the onions and cook them for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the mixed vegetables and white parts of the scallions and cook for 2 minutes. Season the vegetables with a pinch of salt.
  • Add the cooked rice into the pan or wok and cook for several minutes, until the rice is heated through. If there are large clumps of rice, break them apart with the back of your spatula.
  • Add the soy sauce, five-spice powder, dash of white pepper (if using) and sesame oil and stir to distribute the seasonings. (See note 6) Add the scrambled eggs and stir to mix again. Garnish with remaining sliced scallions. Serve immediately.

Provided by Bill

Categories     Rice

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups cooked rice
5 large eggs ((divided))
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon turmeric
3 tablespoons oil ((divided))
1 medium onion ((finely chopped))
½ red bell pepper ((finely chopped))
1/2 cup frozen peas ((thawed))
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 scallions ((chopped))

Steps:

  • Use a fork to fluff up the rice and break it apart. If you're using freshly cooked rice, let it stand on the counter uncovered until it stops steaming before fluffing it. If you decide to refrigerate the rice overnight in advance of preparing this recipe, it will clump up; you can then use your hands to break up the cold rice clumps into individual grains.
  • Beat 3 eggs in one bowl. Beat the other 2 eggs in another bowl, along with 2 tablespoons water, the paprika, and the turmeric. Set these two bowls aside.
  • Heat a wok over medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the 3 beaten eggs (without the spices), and scramble them. Remove them from the wok and set aside.
  • Heat wok over high heat, and add the last tablespoon oil. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the rice and stir-fry for 2 minutes, using a scooping motion to heat the rice uniformly. Use your wok spatula to flatten out and break up any rice clumps. Next, pour the uncooked egg and spice mixture over the rice, and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until all of the rice grains are coated in egg.
  • Add the peas and stir fry continuously for another minute. Next spread the salt, sugar, and black pepper over the rice and mix. You should now see some steam coming off the rice, which means it is heated through.
  • If the rice looks a little dry, feel free to sprinkle in some water or chicken stock. Adding some liquid directly to any remaining clumps of rice will also help to break them up. Mix in the scrambled eggs and scallions and serve!

EGG-FRIED RICE



Egg-fried rice image

Don't call the Chinese takeaway - make your own egg-fried rice. Use leftover rice, or cook and dry it on a plate before using so it doesn't stick to the wok

Provided by Elena Silcock

Categories     Side dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

250g long grain rice
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
4 eggs, beaten
2 spring onions, sliced, to serve

Steps:

  • Cook the rice following pack instructions, then drain, spread it out to steam-dry and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large wok over a high heat, then add the onion and fry until lightly browned, around 5 mins. Add the rice, stir and toast for about 3 mins, then move to the side of the pan.
  • Add the remaining oil, then tip in the egg mixture. Leave to cook a little, then mix in with the rice - stir vigorously to coat the grains or, if you prefer the egg chunkier, allow to set for a little longer before breaking up and stirring through. Tip into a serving bowl and scatter over the spring onion to serve.

GYERAN BAP (EGG RICE)



Gyeran Bap (Egg Rice) image

Gyeran bap is a lifesaving Korean pantry meal of fried eggs stirred into steamed white rice. In this version, the eggs fry and puff up slightly in a shallow bath of browned butter. Soy sauce, which reduces in the pan, seasons the rice, as does a final smattering of salty gim, or roasted seaweed. A dribble of sesame oil lends comforting nuttiness, and runny yolks act as a makeshift sauce for the rice, slicking each grain with eggy gold. (You can cook the eggs to your preferred doneness, of course.) This dinner-for-one can be scaled up to serve more: Just double, triple or quadruple all of the ingredient amounts, using a larger skillet or repeating the steps in a small one.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 cup steamed white rice, preferably short- or medium-grain
1 (5-gram) packet roasted, salted seaweed, such as gim (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the melted butter starts to darken in color from yellow to light brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Crack in the eggs and drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil on top, cooking until the whites puff up slightly around the edges of the pan and the translucent parts around the yolks start to turn opaque, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Watch that the soy sauce doesn't burn, removing the pan from the heat if necessary.
  • Scoop the rice into a medium bowl and top with the fried eggs, including all of the buttery soy sauce drippings from the pan. Crush the seaweed directly over the eggs, piling it high. This will seem like a lot of seaweed, but it will wilt as you mix everything together with a spoon, which you should do to disperse the ingredients before eating.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: This will help the rice to fry up evenly and not become mushy.
  • Chop your vegetables into small pieces: This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: This will help to prevent the rice and vegetables from sticking.
  • Cook the rice and vegetables over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the rice and vegetables.
  • Add the eggs last: This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve immediately: Egg fried rice is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Egg fried rice with cucumber is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
