Ingredients
- 100 grams basmati rice uncooked*
- oil use soy bean oil or any other neutral oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 spring onions
- 1 clove garlic
- a bit ginger
- 1/2 tsp crispy chilli oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 40 grams frozen peas
Instructions
- ***Skip this step in case your rice has been cooked already and you are using leftover rice***. Add the rice to a bowl or cooking pot. Add water and wash the rice by stirring it with your hand or with a spoon. Discard the water by using a fine sieve or by slowly tilting the pot. Repeat this process 3 times.
- Clean and chop off the ends of the spring onions. Slice them thinly. Keep a few slices per person aside for garnishing.
- Heat a frying pan over medium high heat and add oil. Add the spring onions and sauté until they start to turn brown.
- Meanwhile, grate or chop the garlic and add it to the pan. Add the crispy chili oil and mix it with the onions and garlic.
- Remove the peel of the ginger by using the edge of a spoon or just use a knife to cut off the peel. Grate the ginger and add it to the pan. Mix everything together.
- Crack an egg into a bowl and beat it with a fork until the yolk and egg white are combined.
- Slide the onions to the side of the pan with a spatula. Pour the beaten egg into the empty space. Wait about 8 to 10 seconds, then scrape the bottom of the pan. Use the spatula to break the egg into smaller pieces, almost like scrambled eggs. Mix the scrambled egg with the onions.
- Add soy sauce and oyster sauce. Add the cooked rice to the pan.Mix the rice well with the rest of the ingredients.
- Taste. If needed, add a bit more soy sauce and/or oyster sauce.
- Add the peas and mix with the rice. Switch off the heat, place a lid on the pan, and let the peas steam for a few minutes.
- Heat a second frying pan and add oil. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the hot pan. Fry until the edges become crispy.
- OPTION 1 (difficult):If you want a perfectly shaped rice mountain, use a small bowl. Add a few drops of water to the bottom to prevent sticking. Scoop the stir fried rice into the bowl and press it down gently with the back of a spoon. Hold the small bowl in one hand and place a plate upside down on top of it with the other hand. Flip both together in one movement, about 180 degrees. Keep them pressed together during the flip. Remove the bowl.
- OPTION 2 (easy); Add the fried rice to a bowl.
- Place the fried egg on top of the rice. Finish with a few slices of spring onion, some crispy chili oil to taste and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Notes
* The amounts listed are for uncooked rice. If you are using cooked rice, like I do, use 300 grams per person, which is about 1 and 1/2 cups or 10.5 oz.
