I think everyone has their own unique memory of egg fried rice. Egg fried rice can be said to be a "special" food that we have had since ancient times. Why do we say "special"? According to historical records, the ancient egg fried rice was called "Egg Fried Rice". Everyone knows that eggs are actually chicken eggs, and "燇" means fierce, hot, and burning fire. Therefore, experts believe that the "egg dumpling" recorded in ancient books is a food made from rice and eggs in ancient times. At the moment, it becomes egg fried rice.
Many people think that to make egg fried rice well, they need to use leftover rice or overnight rice. Actually, we don't have that need. It’s not that fresh rice is unsuitable for making egg fried rice, but since fresh rice is already being cooked, who would use the cooked rice for frying? Wouldn’t it be nice to cook a dish alone? Therefore, many people make egg fried rice by leaving a little rice left over from each meal for frying. This creates a misunderstanding.
I personally think that the rice used for fried egg fried rice can actually be cooked from long rice. In addition, fresh rice is relatively sticky, so you can scoop out a portion separately and cool it to reduce the stickiness. Simple egg fried rice is also the most classic. Rice is wrapped in eggs, that's all. Nowadays, many upgraded egg fried rice often add some "messy" ingredients such as ham sausage, corn, green beans, etc., and undergo certain upgrades and revisions. But I think the timeless classic is the real food that everyone loves - egg fried rice. So how to make a classic egg fried rice?
