Mrs Webmuppet Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Little Miss Webmuppet would like me to make egg fried rice for her tea.......but how do make I make it? Ok I realise it's a stupid question but egg cookery is something I'm fairly new to- my Dad still reminds me of the day I asked how to boil an egg.( I would like to point out that I can't eat eggs as whole egg & subsequently bypassed that branch of cookery ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 You need rice that has already been cooked and cooled or you will end up with a gunky mess. Fry it in Wok Oil then add a couple beaten eggs, keep it moving then add a chopped spring onion, some 5 spice and a dash of soy sauce just before serving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thank you I knew someone would know the answer.Off to find the ingredients! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I have used those rice pouches before & they are perfect for eggy rice. I chop some onion, spring or red usually, then fry it off with some red pepper,a bit of carrot maybe - whatever is in the fridge really (its a great end-of-the-week dish) Then addd the cooked rice & some Chinese 5 spice, & mix it up. Then add a couple of whisked eggs & keep it moving until they are all scrambley & cooked.Some cooked peas are good in it too. Finish with a good glug of soy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Get the wok nice and hot too - too cool and it will all stick to it. I got this tip from a student whose family run a Chinese restaurant so I can gurantee it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I prefer to use sesame oil, but don't be too sparing. As has already been said, add your cooked rice, then give it a quick mix to coat it, then add in your eggs; I'd say about 3 eggs will be OK with rice enough for four people. When, years ago, I had a Chinese girlfriend, she told me to keep frying the rice and eggs until some of the rice grains started popping. If you stop before then, the result will be soggy.

Mrs Webmuppet Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 I like the tip about using the rice sachets..........hadn't thought of that one, saves me remembering to cook rice in the morning! Thank you everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The Tilda ones are by far the best - Micronuke them before you add it to the frying pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
