egg fried rice.

[mollykins]

i need to boil the rice and let it go coll (in the fridge?) then fry it with egg and veggies later on don't i?

[ummmm]

Yup :-)

You could rinse it in cold water after it's cooked to cool it down.

I buy mine in a packet. much easier!

[mollykins]

so i can boil it then cool it then fry it and serve within 20 mins?

[ummmm]

Yep. I never find that it comes out well though. So haven't bothered cooking it for years.

It does work better if you cook it in advance and leave it in the fridge for a bit, but its not the end of the world if you just rinse it in cold water and let it drain first. The finished product will also be much less gooey/sticky if you fry the egg in the pan first and bash it about to split it up, before adding the rice and veg.

Rachel Allen did it on her cookery programme this morning. She scrambled the egg first, then tore it up and added to rice. I didn't follow it exactly but I guess it'll be on bbc iplayer.

I start by boiling the rice and peas. I make a thin omelette in the wok and reserve. I then fry finely chopped onion, smoked bacon and mushrooms in the wok. When the rice is ready add to the wok with the sliced omelette and add soy sauce. Shredded meat added and heated through.

you dont need to let the rice cool down. (first time i heard of it...),

fry the egg first in the wok, and break it up, then poor the rice into the wok, make sure the rice is not too wet, (depends how you cook your rice-drain all the water off - i would use a rice cooker!) then just mix well and add soy sauce, bit of pepper, and salt and there you go.

I am still trying to find the secret of egg fried rice like the chippy.Chinese 5 spice just wasnt quite right,nearly got the flavour with sesame oil,but not enough oomph.What is it about fried rice,curry sauce and the sausages(not at the same time for me though)from the chippy,just cannot get the right taste
