Main Ingredients- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 carrot
- 1 potato
- 2 bowls of cooked rice (warm)
Seasonings- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- Pinch of salt
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- Pinch of salt
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the potato and carrot for added texture in your fried rice. Peel the potato and wash it thoroughly. Then, finely julienne both the potato and carrot into small strips, about 0.5 cm thick. Cutting them small ensures they cook quickly and blend well with the rice.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack 3 fresh eggs. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor and remove any eggy smell. Whisk the eggs thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined. This will help create a smoother texture when fried.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared julienned potato and carrot. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly and become translucent. Cooking over medium heat prevents burning and ensures they cook evenly.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are partially cooked, pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan. As the egg begins to set, gently scramble it with a spatula, mixing it with the vegetables. Continue to cook until the egg is fully cooked and set, but not overcooked.
Step 5
When the egg is cooked and mixed with the vegetables, add 2 bowls of warm cooked rice to the pan. Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce for flavor and a couple of pinches of salt to taste. Using your spatula, break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry vigorously, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly combined and the rice is well-coated with the seasonings. This step is crucial for infusing flavor into every grain of rice.
Step 6
Finally, taste the fried rice and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce or salt if needed, according to your preference. For extra flavor, you can add a dash of pepper or a drizzle of sesame oil. Enjoy your delicious homemade egg fried rice!
