[Recipe] [Homemade] Egg fried rice! 🍚 - eviltoast

No, an egg did not in fact fry this rice. Because it’s an egg.

Recipe with various methods

For such a simple dish there’s a decent bit of technique and timing involved to execute it ‘well’. The main things being:

  • not to overload the pan
  • cook your add-ins in individual batches.
  • have everything prepped before you start
  • use day old rice or make sure to dry the rice really well before hand
  • do not go too crazy with the amount of add-ins
  • use a wok if you can

This can be made on a normal western electric stove but it requires a bit more finesse and waiting for the pan to recover its heat before moving onto the next step as we don’t have a 15k BTU jet burner. I’ve personally just moved to making this on a little cheap portable gas stove because it allows for better control over the temp and also so I don’t have to worry about smoking out the house.

While there is a certain dogma online about what fried rice is and isn’t. It is a dish to use as a template to get rid of leftovers or just have fun with.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day <3

    One thing to remember if you get confused about egg fried rice is that it only requires three ingredients:

    1. Eggs
    2. Fry
    3. Rice

    No but I have been on an Uncle Roger binge streak lately, highly recommend his YouTube channel if you want egg fried rice based comedy content.
