Egg Fried Rice (Uncle Roger Approved)

Ingredients

Main Ingredients
  • Cooked rice
  • 30g spring onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 115g sweetcorn & peas
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 70mL water
  • 2 tbsp oil
Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

  1. Add rice to rice cooker according to instructions.
  2. Cut the green parts off of the green onions (30g) and dice into small pieces. Save the whites to use in another dish.
  3. Slice the carrot in half, then into strips. Hold the strips together and dice into small pieces. Combine with the frozen sweetcorn and peas (115g) in a bowl.
  4. Crack the eggs (4) into a bowl. Season with the salt (½ tsp), then set aside.
  5. Once the rice is done cooking, leave it covered to steam for 2 additional minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, add the water (70mL) to the bowl of vegetables and microwave for 2 minutes to cook. Drain out the excess water and set aside.
  7. Now that the 2 minutes are up, it’s time to fluff the rice! Use chopsticks to stir and fluff rice for 1 to 2 minutes. This allows the excess steam to release and prevent clumping.
  8. Heat the wok on high and beat the eggs. Lower the heat to low and add the oil (2 tbsp), spreading it all over the wok surface to make sure it’s well coated.
  9. Add the eggs and stir gently, cooking them for about 20 to 30 seconds. Add the cooked rice on top of the eggs, flip and stir fry constantly, breaking apart the clumps of rice and eggs with a wok spatula for about 2 minutes.
  10. Using the flat side of the spatula, press down on the rice and spread it over the wok to gently loosen any clumps. 
  11. Add mixed veggies, increase the heat to high, flip and stir fry for another 2 to 3 minutes, then turn the heat down to low.
  12. In a small bowl, combine the light soy sauce (1 tbsp), dark soy sauce (1 tsp), salt (½ tsp), sugar (½ tsp), and chicken bouillon powder (1 tsp), if using, and pour over the rice. 
  13. Increase the heat to high and stir fry everything for another 2 to 3 minutes. You can also use chopsticks to help mix the fried rice or toss the wok.
  14. Add the oil (1 tbsp) and diced green onions, stir fry for another minute to mix everything together, then turn the heat off.
  15. Taste and add more seasoning if needed. Eg. + 1 tsp of light soy sauce.
  16. Serve & enjoy.
