Main Ingredients- 1 bowl of warm cooked rice
- 1 egg
- Ham (finely diced), to taste
- King oyster mushrooms (trimmed and shredded), to taste
- Carrot (finely diced), to taste
- Onion (finely diced), to taste
Seasoning- 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely dice the ham and all the prepared vegetables like carrots and onions. Trim the base of the king oyster mushrooms and shred them. (Feel free to use any leftover vegetables you have in your fridge! Experiment with your favorites.)
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little canola oil. Add the diced ham and vegetables and stir-fry. Adding a pinch of salt will help bring out the natural sweetness of the vegetables. (A dash of pepper will further enhance the aroma!)
Step 3
Once the vegetables are partially cooked, push them to one side of the pan. Crack the egg into the empty space. As the egg begins to cook, scramble it with chopsticks or a spatula until just set.
Step 4
When the egg is softly scrambled, mix it thoroughly with the vegetables and ham that were pushed to the side, and continue to stir-fry everything together.
Step 5
Now, add the bowl of warm cooked rice to the pan, along with 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Adjust the amount of oyster sauce to your preference. You can also use soy sauce for seasoning if you prefer.
Step 6
Using a spatula or spoon, gently break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry until all the ingredients are well combined. The key is to stir-fry until the rice grains are distinct and slightly toasted.
Step 7
Transfer the well-fried rice to a serving bowl. You can sprinkle with seaweed flakes or sesame seeds for extra flavor if desired.
Step 8
And there you have it – your delicious vegetable fried rice! On busy days, this is the perfect menu for a simple yet satisfying meal. Enjoy your cooking!
