record

The earliest historical record of fried rice with eggs can be found in the bamboo slips unearthed from Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, Hunan Province in 1972. This may be the ancestor of fried rice with eggs. Yangzhou fried rice, also known as Yangzhou fried rice with eggs, is the predecessor of Yangzhou fried rice with eggs.

How did Yangzhou fried rice spread from Yangzhou? I have to mention one person, that is, Yi Bingshou, the magistrate of Yangzhou.

Yi Bingshou, a native of Tingzhou, Fujian, served as the magistrate of Yangzhou in 54 years. This man has a good political voice. He is not only proficient in poetry and calligraphy, but also a gourmet. It is widely circulated that he invented "Yifu Noodles" and "Yangzhou Fried Rice" which are now circulating in Guangdong and Hong Kong. The instant noodles we eat today are developed on the basis of Iraqi government noodles. Yi Bingshou is also known as one of the pioneers of convenience food.

Source-Jiangsu flavor fried rice

Mr. Ling Yunchao, a famous Hong Kong calligrapher, said in his book "Three Thousand Years of Calligraphy in China": "Jiangsu fried rice is fried rice with scallion oil, but different Iraqi chefs add icing on it, and some shrimps are fried with barbecued pork, so it tastes more delicious than before. This flavor is called "Yangzhou fried rice" by southerners. After Yi Bingshou returned to his hometown, he also brought this method back to his hometown of Fujian, and introduced the cooking method of Yangzhou fried rice in his book Liu Chun Cao Tangji. At this time, "Yangzhou fried rice" is not only a Yang style, but also a delicacy on the Cantonese menu. It is Yi Bingshou's innovation and dissemination that has brought about the colorful appearance of today's "Yangzhou fried rice".

Yangzhou fried rice with eggs, from the perspective of material selection, the main ingredient is refined white indica rice or new white japonica rice instead. It needs to be cleaned with water before cooking. After a little soaking, put it in a pot and cook it until it is cooked thoroughly, without hardness and loose particles. In order to prevent burning when frying rice, it is necessary to wrap all the rice grains with egg liquid, commonly known as "gold wrapped silver". After frying, it shines like broken gold, smooth and shiny, delicious and refreshing.

Ingredients: eggs, shredded pork, sausage and shrimp can be added to add flavor, carrots, sweetness, parsley and onions.

The cooking method is: the fried rice must be cooked overnight (because the hot rice contains too much water). First, put the cold rice into the pot and shovel it slowly. Don't put too much oil, so as to stir up the water in the rice. Then, put the eggs (flavored first) into the pot, and the oil temperature should not be high. Stir-fry quickly (otherwise the eggs will get old quickly), then add the cooked shredded pork, sausage, shrimp and carrot, stir-fry for a while, and finally add coriander and onion, and the fragrant fried rice will come out.
