Fried rice with eggs is a common staple food [1], and Yangzhou fried rice with eggs is very famous. Its preparation method is to fry and chop the eggs, add oil again, add chopped green onion and stir-fry, add ham and diced cucumber and stir-fry and color, and finally add rice and broken eggs and stir-fry evenly. Fried rice with eggs originated in the western regions, spread to the mainland from Hexi Corridor, and was finally accepted by the majority of Han people.
Fried rice with eggs, which took the northeast route, was later loved by the Manchu emperor, so it was recorded in the chef's cookbook. Today, it can still be found in Beijing Palace Museum and Shenyang Palace Museum.
Development course:
The official name of fried rice with eggs is alfalfa rice. There have been academic discussions in the literary world about the correct spelling of the word alfalfa, but in the end it seems that there is no concrete or acceptable conclusion. Someone wrote the word alfalfa as "Mushu", which I think should be correct. Beijing people write these two words as sweet clover, but the pronunciation is a little different from alfalfa.
Osmanthus fragrans is another name for Osmanthus fragrans. Osmanthus fragrans can be eaten, so can alfalfa. Now there is another kind of rice in Xinjiang called alfalfa rice, but it is not what we usually call fried rice with eggs. It's rice made of alfalfa sprouts, which the poor eat and tastes bad.
