Main Ingredients- 1 cup noodle (any flavor works!)
- 1 handful scallions (about 50g)
- 1 egg
- 1 handful ham (about 50g)
- 2-3 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the scallions to add flavor to our fried rice. Wash a handful of scallions (about 50g), pat them dry, and finely chop them. These chopped scallions will be used to make fragrant scallion oil.
Step 2
Next, it’s time to beat the egg. Crack 1 egg into a bowl and whisk it well with a fork or whisk until smooth.
Step 3
Ham is also an important ingredient to enhance the fried rice! Prepare about a handful of ham (about 50g). Dicing the ham finely will help it blend well with other ingredients and make it easier to eat when stir-frying.
Step 4
Now, let’s start stir-frying. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, then add 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the chopped scallions and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until a fragrant aroma rises, infusing the oil with scallion essence. Making scallion oil will significantly deepen the overall flavor of the fried rice.
Step 5
Once the scallion oil starts releasing a delicious aroma, pour in the beaten egg. Gently stir as the egg cooks, creating fluffy scrambled eggs. Avoid overcooking; a soft texture is ideal.
Step 6
When the scrambled eggs are almost cooked, add the diced ham and stir-fry together. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the ham to render some fat and the ingredients to meld together.
Step 7
Now it’s time to prepare the cup noodles. Take out both the noodles and the seasoning packet from the cup. Place the cup noodle block into a zip-top bag or plastic bag, and then crush it into small pieces using your hands or a rolling pin. Breaking it down into pieces similar to rice grains is key for it to mix well with the rice.
Step 8
Put the crushed cup noodle block and the seasoning packet back into the empty cup noodle container. The savory flavor from the seasoning will now infuse the fried rice.
Step 9
Pour about 50% of hot water into the cup noodle container and gently loosen the noodles with chopsticks. Let them cook for about 2 minutes until the noodles are partially cooked and ready for stir-frying. Using too much water can make the fried rice soggy, so control the water amount carefully.
Step 10
While the noodles are cooking, prepare a bowl of cooked rice. Add the bowl of warm rice to the frying pan, getting ready to combine it with the sautéed scallions, eggs, and ham.
Step 11
After 2 minutes, drain the cooked cup noodles slightly and add them to the frying pan. The rice, noodles, and sautéed ingredients are now all together!
Step 12
Now, turn the heat to high and stir-fry everything until it’s fluffy and well-combined. Gently stir with a spatula so the rice grains don’t clump together and remain separate. You’ll start smelling that delicious aroma as the cup noodle seasoning coats the rice.
Step 13
Once everything is nicely stir-fried, transfer the hot fried rice back into the cup noodle container for easy plating. Present it beautifully on a plate for an even more impressive meal.
Step 14
And there you have it – a simple yet special cup noodle fried rice! Enjoy this delightful meal with its perfectly balanced savory and sweet flavor!
