INGREDIENT: for 2 serves I know everyone knows hoe to make fried rice, here just some tips and method of how I make my fried rice:)
2 bowls of cold overnight rice Chicken cubes marinated in soy sauce + pepper + salt + pinch of sugar shredded cabbage prawn cut into smaller pieces 2 eggs preserved fish cut into small pieces minced garlic cooking oil
Seasoning: salt pepper sugar 1 tsp of chicken powder
Tips: (a) I am using overnight rice as its easier when you fried the rice, you will get a very nice consistency but not lumpy rice that result in sticky and wet texture. This is because overnight rice soaks up all the moisture into the rice itself, so there won't be too much moisture compared to freshly cooked rice as its still warm and steamy.
(b) I always fried the eggs and scramble it, put a bit of seasoning like salt. Unless you got a a very big stove and big wok that large enough to add in the eggs and fried very quickly so that it sticks into the rice, when I do this at home, I always get a very wet and sticky fried rice :(
(c) I also pan fried the preserved fish with some hot oil until crispy and golden brown, this is when all the aroma comes out and when u bite the fish you get very crunchy texture :)
(d) Make sure you keep on separating the rice properly, or you can say smashing or stirring so that every rice is perfectly coated with the seasoning, even in taste and leave no rice lump.
(e) Adjust the seasoning when necessary, I only use salt but no soy sauce for the taste as I want it too look whiter rather then brown in colour. It still looks brownish because of the chicken haha.
(f) I am adding a little bit of prawn so that the rice will have a bit of seafood flavour, remember to add a pinch of sugar into the fried rice too as it enhance the flavour of the rice. |
