Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Fry the egg - Beat the egg until homogenous, season it with a pinch of salt, and cook it in a pan on medium heat with a bit of neutral tasting oil like canola until just set. Like when you cook scrambled eggs or an omelette. Once cooked, set aside on a clean bowl or plate.

2. 2

   Fry the chicken - In the same pan fry bite-sized and seasoned pieces of chicken or whatever protein you are using until cooked through on medium-high heat. Once cooked set aside on a clean bowl or plate. If you are doing vegan fried rice, then skip to the next step.

3. 3

   fry aromatics: Fry the onion and garlic paste if using - Same as before in a bit of canola oil or something similarly neutral tasting. Cook until just soft and starting to brown a bit.

4. 4

   fry vegetables: Fry the vegetables - Add the vegetables and stir fry for 4 minutes until they soften a bit.

5. 5

   add rice: Add the cooked rice - Add your rice and give the whole thing a mix-through.

6. 6

   Season - Add the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, oyster sauce(if using) and give it another stir-through.

7. 7

   add cooked egg and chicken: Add the cooked egg and chicken - Mix in the cooked scrambled egg along with the cooked chicken or other protein if you are using it as well as the toasted sesame seeds.

8. 8

   serve: Finishing touches - Give it one more stir-through and taste it for seasoning and balance, adjusting as needed. When you are happy with it, sprinkle with some freshly chopped scallions and serve.
