How to make Fried Rice with eggs

The key to the effect of Fried Rice with eggs is rice pretreatment and temperature control. When stir frying, attention should be paid to techniques such as loose rice, evenly wrapped egg mixture, and quick stir frying.

1. Rice Selection

Using overnight refrigerated rice makes it easier to stir fry with distinct grains. During the refrigeration process, rice will dehydrate and harden, making the starch structure more stable and less prone to sticking when stir fried. Fresh rice has too much moisture and is prone to sticking to the pot and clumping. If you want to use fresh rice, you can spread it out in advance and let it cool or use an electric fan to dry the surface moisture. It is recommended to loosen the rice with chopsticks before refrigeration to avoid clumping and making it more difficult to separate after refrigeration.

2. Egg Liquid Treatment

Adding egg liquid in two portions can better wrap the rice grains. First, take half of the egg mixture and mix it thoroughly with cold rice. Coat each grain of rice with the egg mixture to form a protective layer, so that the rice grains are not easily sticky when stir fried. The remaining egg liquid is poured in the middle of Fried Rice to form obvious egg flower. Egg mixture can be whipped with a small amount of salt or cooking wine to remove fishy smell and enhance fragrance, while making the egg flowers more fluffy. Using natural eggs has a more golden color, but regular eggs do not affect the taste.

3. Temperature control

The key to preventing sticking to the pan is to quickly stir fry over medium high heat throughout the process. Boil the pot until it smokes before pouring oil. When the oil temperature is high enough, the rice can quickly form a burnt aroma layer. When stir frying, cut Rice and vegetable roll vertically with a spatula, and heat the rice grains evenly with the action of bumping the pan. insufficient firepower can cause rice to absorb oil and become greasy, and the egg mixture cannot quickly solidify and wrap around the rice grains. electromagnetic stove users can adjust the power to around 1800 watts to simulate the effect of an open flame.

4. Ingredient addition

Ingredients with high moisture content need to be pre treated to avoid water discharge. It is recommended to stir fry the diced vegetables until they are fully cooked, then bring them back to the pot and mix well; Sausage, shrimp and other meat dishes can be marinated with a small amount of cooking wine to remove fishy smell. The total amount of ingredients should not exceed one-third of the rice, and excessive ingredients will crush the structure of the rice. Split the chopped scallions into two parts, use scallion white when frying, sprinkle scallion green before cooking to enhance the aroma and keep the rice dry.

5. Seasoning techniques

Adding salt and soy sauce after adding SEP can reduce the amount of water coming out of the rice. It is recommended to stir fry until the rice grains bounce before pouring soy sauce along the edge of the pot. The high temperature should stimulate the aroma of the sauce without seeping into the rice core. Using chopsticks instead of shovels for final mixing is easier to keep the rice grains intact. Sprinkle freshly ground white pepper or drizzle with a few drops of sesame oil before cooking to enhance the flavor without increasing humidity. Sugar can promote starch gelatinization, and it is not recommended to add it unless for specific flavors.

If you want to continue to make perfect Fried Rice with distinct eggs, it is recommended to equip a heavy iron pan or a non stick pan with compound bottom, and fully preheat before each frying. Rice should be refrigerated for no more than 48 hours to prevent spoilage. If any odor is found, it should be discarded. Maintain ventilation during the frying process, and promptly discharge the oil fumes generated by high temperatures. Eating with light soup can balance the taste and avoid excessive intake of oil. Control the amount of Fried Rice for a single time to 2-3 people. Too much food will lead to uneven heating. After mastering these key points, colored vegetables such as corn kernels and peas can be added according to personal preferences to increase nutrition and enhance visual effects.
