Ok, so this isn’t actually out of a cookbook. I was trying to emulate my dad’s amazing fried rice, and I didn’t really come close. His is still so, so much better.
I’m going to have to watch how he does it one day, but for now, here’s what I did!
Eggy Fried Rice
Ingredients:
Rice
Garlic
Green Pepper
Onion
Mushrooms
Olive Oil
Soya sauce
2 eggs
Shrimp
So because this isn’t from a cookbook, I don’t have exact measurements. Typically, I follow the instructions on the rice package and cook accordingly. Fried rice needs to be cooked with cold rice, so stick it in the fridge to cool down.
Cut up the vegetables into thin strips, dice up the garlic, and throw it in a wok with some oil. After they’ve softened nicely, throw in your rice, add some soya sauce. Stir it around, let it fry up. Make a hole in the centre of your rice, and crack the egg in. Stir that around and then throw in your shrimp.
Once it’s all nice and brown and cooked through, grab a fry pan and fry up the second egg. Add that on top, and serve!
