Delicious Fried Rice

Delicious Fried Rice
Pin It

Fried rice, is one of those lovely comforting foods that everyone in the world seems to like – no one is intimidated by fried rice.

Somehow, all these rogue ingredients have crept into restaurant versions over the years, such as corn, peas and ham.

I find the trick with fried rice is to keep it really simple and traditional – just some really fresh and fluffy eggs, onion, bacon or Chinese sausage, ginger and some spring onions.

Serves 2 to 4

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup peanut oil
  • 4 large free range eggs beaten
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil extra
  • 1½ teaspoons finely chopped ginger
  • 4 garlic cloves diced
  • 1 medium brown onion finely diced
  • ½ cup roughly chopped rindless bacon rashes or chinese sausage
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons shao hsing wine
  • 5 cups cooked medium grain white rice
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 cup finely sliced spring onion scallions
  • 3 teaspoons maggii seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 finely sliced on the diagonal spring onions scallions
  • ¼ cup light soy sauce
  • ½ large red chilli finely sliced on the diagonal
