Who invented fried rice with eggs? Fried rice with eggs is a very old cooking method. Although it is now cooked by ordinary people, it has been accepted by many world-class hotels because of its delicious taste, so fried rice with eggs is served on the table of the hotel.
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.
The petals of osmanthus fragrans are a bit like those of scrambled eggs, so it makes sense to call it osmanthus fragrans. I will definitely sit down and study when I have time in the future.
Fried rice with eggs is a foreign way of eating, not an invention of mainlanders. Its roots are in the western regions, which is today's Xinjiang region. Ban Gu's Hanshu has been recorded indirectly. From the name, fried rice with eggs should also be eaten by ethnic minorities in the western regions.
This kind of combined rice was introduced into the mainland from Hexi Corridor, and was finally accepted by the majority of Han people. Its main contribution is that Angelica chisels through Ban Chao and manages Zhang Qian in the Western Regions. After Ban Chao returned to the mainland in his later years, he often ate alfalfa rice. Zhang Qian is also famous among courtiers for eating this kind of Hu Fan. It is said that Zhang Qian's wives and concubines are all masters at cooking alfalfa rice, and Zhang Qian has also been rewarded to let whoever cooks alfalfa rice sleep.
There are generally two ways for fried rice with eggs to be introduced into the mainland. One route is from Hexi Corridor to the inland, then from the north to the grassland, from nomadic Mongols to Manchus in the northeast, and then from Manchu to Han nationality. So the standard Manchu banquet includes fried rice with eggs. The way of fried rice with eggs has changed. Eggs can be eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs or other bird eggs. Rice can be rice, sorghum rice and corn rice. Small grain rice is not good because it is hard and tastes bad with eggs. Glutinous rice is even worse.
The 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, we can still find written evidence in Beijing Palace Museum and Shenyang Palace Museum. When Li, the last imperial concubine, worked in the library, she brought fried rice with eggs for lunch. She gave me a taste, too. It was really delicious. She told me that Emperor Puyi loved fried rice with eggs very much, and her practice was that of a chef. She taught me to cook fried rice with eggs herself. It can be said that I am now the only direct biography of the royal fried rice with eggs, which is absolutely authentic.
The other route goes south through Hexi Corridor, stops in Nanjing, and is finally developed in Yangzhou through the transformation of local people. Therefore, Yangzhou people call their fried rice with eggs Yangzhou fried rice. I heard that it has now become the signature diet of Yangzhou. I once ate Yangzhou fried rice specially in Yangzhou, but I didn't feel very ideal, lacking the unique charm and historical sense of egg fried rice.

Tips for home-cooked fried rice with eggs:
Don't underestimate fried rice with eggs. If it is not fried well, it is scrambled eggs and bibimbap. When cooking, put a little less oil in the pot, not only enough scrambled eggs, but also enough rice. White rice should be cold rice overnight, and hot rice has too much water. Boil the oil, remember that the oil temperature is not too high, just don't smoke, and beat the eggs evenly. Just break the eggs and pour them in. Don't let them agglomerate. Stir-fry the eggs quickly in the pot and break them. When the egg liquid begins to solidify, you can add a little salt, not too much. Otherwise, it is irresponsible for me to salt you to death. Add rice after complete solidification. At this time, the white rice is cold and caked, so don't fire too much, just generally. Shovel the rice loose bit by bit and mix it with the eggs. Remember not to add water, it will turn into rice. Although the rice is caked and fried, it will loosen into granules. Then add some salt according to your taste. You can also add chopped green onion to the bottom of the pot. A plate of delicious fried rice with eggs is ready. I don't know if you are interested in doing it yourself and having plenty of food and clothing.
Key points:
Don't put the egg liquid in a pot with high oil temperature, stir fry quickly and break it up.
Slowly shovel the cold rice into the pot without adding water.
Remember not to put monosodium glutamate in egg rice. If you put monosodium glutamate, there will be no delicious eggs.
