Egg fried rice is a very common home-cooked meal. It is rich in nutrients and delicious, and is loved by everyone. But it takes a lot of skill to make this home-cooked dish. Let me share with you how to make egg fried rice with distinct grains. Egg fried rice
Ingredients: rice, eggs, salt, chopped green onion, oil. Steps:
Step one: First we prepare a bowl of overnight rice, beat 2 eggs thoroughly, then pour the egg liquid into the rice, let the egg liquid and rice mix evenly, so that each Coat each grain of rice evenly with egg liquid; then you can prepare side dishes according to your own taste, such as carrots, ham sausage, etc., or you can omit them.
Step 2: Heat the pot, pour an appropriate amount of oil, and when the oil is hot, pour in the rice, then quickly crush the rice with a shovel and stir-fry it, so that the grains can be clearly defined. Be careful to stir-fry over low heat to avoid burning the rice. After the rice is stir-fried, you can add side dishes and stir-fry together, then add salt to taste, stir evenly, sprinkle with some chopped green onion and serve. Tips:
1. When I make egg fried rice, I don’t scramble the eggs or fry the rice first. Instead, I mix the beaten egg liquid and rice evenly, and then fry them together. Mix the egg liquid and rice evenly in advance, so as to ensure that every grain of rice is covered with egg liquid, and the fried rice will be very even, with distinct grains, and the color will be extraordinarily golden and attractive.
2. Rice must be cooked overnight, because almost all the moisture on the surface of overnight rice has evaporated, making it much drier and easier to fry with distinct grains. And if it is freshly steamed rice, it will be very sticky and cannot be fried at all. The texture of the rice will not be distinct, and it will not taste good. If you really don’t have overnight rice, you can wait until the rice is completely cool before using.
3. It is best to use long-grain rice for rice. Long-grain rice has poor stickiness and strong chewiness. It won't stick easily after steaming, so it's most suitable for making fried rice. Round-grained rice has strong stickiness and sticks to itself easily after being steamed, making it easy to lump into lumps when making fried rice.
4. If you have time and energy, you can fry the egg yolk and egg white separately. This will not only make the color more beautiful, but also taste better. Frying eggs separately has a more delicious taste than frying whole eggs directly. Many people don’t know this.
5. If there is lard, use half salad oil + half lard, the fried flavor will be more fragrant. And it looks smoother and better looking. The disadvantage is that it will have a fishy smell if it is slightly cooled, so it must be eaten hot.
