Golden fried rice, or "golden" for its vibrant color and savory aroma, is a versatile dish loved worldwide. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to master it.
Ingredients:
2 cups leftover rice (day-old works best for firmness), 2 eggs, 1 cup diced mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn), 2 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp cooking oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Optional: shredded chicken, ham, or shrimp for protein.
Steps:
1. Prep Ingredients: Beat eggs in a bowl. Chop veggies and protein if using. Ensure rice is clump-free.
2. Scramble Eggs: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in eggs, scramble until just set, then remove and set aside.
3. Sauté Aromatics: Add remaining oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant, then stir-fry veggies and protein (if using) for 2-3 minutes until tender.
4. Fry Rice: Add rice to the wok, breaking up clumps with a spatula. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil, then mix well. Cook for 3-4 minutes until rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
5. Combine & Season: Return scrambled eggs to the wok. Toss everything together. Season with salt, pepper, and extra soy sauce if needed. Cook for 1 more minute.
Serving Tip: Garnish with chopped green onions or fried onions for extra crunch. Enjoy hot as a main or side dish! This basic recipe can be customized with your favorite ingredients to create endless variations.
