Questions about Egg fried rice
Why is cold rice best for egg fried rice?
Chilled rice is drier, so the grains fry separately instead of turning soft and clumpy. Cook the rice ahead, spread it on a tray to cool quickly, then refrigerate it; break up any lumps before it goes into the pan.
How do you make egg fried rice without it going soggy?
Use a very hot wok or large frying pan, and fry the rice in batches if the pan is crowded. Push the rice aside, scramble the egg in the space, then toss everything together with soy sauce near the end.
Can you make egg fried rice with freshly cooked rice?
Yes, but spread the hot rice in a thin layer and let the steam escape before frying. Rice that is still wet and steaming tends to clump; chilling it first gives a drier result.
How long can you keep leftover egg fried rice?
Cool it quickly, refrigerate it within an hour, and eat it within a day. Reheat it only once, until steaming hot all the way through; don’t leave cooked rice sitting at room temperature.
What can you add to egg fried rice?
Peas, spring onions, diced carrots and prawns are common additions; cook raw ingredients through before mixing them with the rice. A little sesame oil or chilli can add flavour, while soy sauce brings saltiness.
What can you serve with egg fried rice?
Serve it alongside stir-fried vegetables, tofu or prawns, or make it part of a meal with dishes such as sweet-and-sour vegetables. Add cucumber or another crisp salad to balance the hot, savoury rice.
How is egg fried rice different from fried rice?
Egg fried rice specifically includes egg, while fried rice can be made with vegetables, meat or seafood instead. The names are sometimes used loosely, so the ingredient list is the clearest guide.
