Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by heating a pan over medium heat and adding a generous amount of canola oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it turns a beautiful golden brown and releases its aroma. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this step is crucial for developing the deep flavor of the fried rice.
Step 2
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the finely diced potatoes and carrots first. Stir-fry until they begin to soften slightly. Then, add the minced ham and diced onion, and continue to stir-fry until all ingredients are well combined. Cook until the onions become translucent, which will bring out their natural sweetness.
Step 3
Carefully remove the corn kernels from the cob using a knife. These kernels will add a delightful burst of sweetness and texture to your fried rice. Finely chop the green onion to add a fresh aromatic element.
Step 4
When the vegetables are partially cooked, add the prepared corn kernels and chopped green onion to the pan. Stir-fry quickly. Now, add the oyster sauce for an extra layer of savory depth. Season with soy sauce, salt, and pepper to your liking, ensuring all the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5
Add the warm cooked rice to the pan. Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps and stir-fry the rice with the ingredients. It’s important to stir-fry thoroughly so that each grain of rice is coated with the delicious seasoning. Taste the fried rice and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding a tiny bit more soy sauce or salt to achieve your perfect flavor.
Step 6
Your delicious corn fried rice, brimming with sweet corn kernels, is ready to be enjoyed! The wonderful combination of fluffy rice and the pop of corn is truly fantastic. Enjoy this satisfying meal!
