Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your optional ingredients according to your preference. Dice any vegetables like carrots, onions, or bell peppers into small, bite-sized pieces. If using sausage or ham, chop them finely as well. Prepare shrimp if desired.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the warm cooked rice with the 3 eggs. Mix them thoroughly. Coating each grain of rice with egg will help prevent clumping and ensure a fluffy texture when fried. Using chopsticks to break up the rice and mix with the egg can be helpful.
Step 3
Add the 2 Tbsp of soy sauce and 1 Tbsp of oyster sauce to the egg-coated rice. Now, add all the diced optional ingredients (vegetables, sausage, shrimp) that you prepared in step 1. Mix everything well. Pre-mixing the ingredients with the sauces ensures even seasoning and makes the stir-frying process much smoother.
Step 4
Heat the 3 Tbsp of cooking oil in a frying pan or wok over medium-low heat. Add the chopped green onions and stir-fry gently until fragrant, creating scallion-infused oil. This step adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the fried rice. If you’re not a fan of green onions or are short on time, you can skip this step. You can either remove the cooked scallions or push them to the side of the pan.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the seasoned rice mixture to the pan. Break up any clumps of rice with your spatula, as if you’re separating each grain. Stir-fry briskly for about 3-5 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are evenly cooked and the rice is fluffy and slightly toasted. Keep stirring continuously to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Your delicious Golden Egg Fried Rice is now ready!
