Ingredients- 100g Cooked Rice (warm)
- 30g Canned Tuna (drained)
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, check all your ingredients and have them ready. For the canned tuna, drain out as much oil as possible by placing it in a sieve. This will result in a cleaner taste. Prepare about 30g of tuna.
Step 2
Crack one fresh egg into a bowl. Lightly whisk it with a fork or whisk until just combined and slightly frothy. Removing the chalazae (the white stringy bits) can make the egg texture smoother.
Step 3
Heat about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the pan is sufficiently hot before adding the egg, which helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking.
Step 4
Pour the whisked egg into the hot pan. Using chopsticks or a spatula, gently stir and scramble the egg into fluffy pieces. Reduce the heat slightly when the egg is about 80% cooked.
Step 5
Gently push the scrambled eggs to one side of the pan. Now, add the drained canned tuna to the empty space in the pan. Sauté it briefly to release its aroma.
Step 6
To the area where the tuna is, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Allowing the soy sauce to heat up in the pan will enhance its flavor profile.
Step 7
Mix everything together – the scrambled eggs, tuna, and soy sauce – ensuring it’s well combined. Stir-fry gently for a moment, being careful not to burn anything.
Step 8
Add the 100g of warm cooked rice to the pan. If the rice is clumpy, gently break it apart with your spatula as you mix it with the other ingredients.
Step 9
Turn the heat to medium and stir-fry for about 1 minute, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly distributed and mixed with the rice. The goal is to get the rice slightly toasted and for the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 10
Once everything is well combined and fried, turn off the heat. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the rice for an added layer of fragrance and flavor.
Step 11
Using the residual heat of the pan, stir-fry for another 20-30 seconds. This final step helps the sesame oil’s aroma infuse into the dish without evaporating. Your delicious tuna and egg fried rice is now ready to be enjoyed warm!
