Egg Fried Rice (Better Than Takeout!)

Egg Fried Rice (Better Than Takeout!)

The long-awaited EGG FRIED RICE is finally here!

Egg fried rice is a simple recipe that you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the perfect side dish or main entree for every meal.

What I love the most about fried rice is the ability to tailor it with anything you have in the fridge. Better than takeout Egg Fried Rice is super easy to make at home and extremely delicious. 

Egg Fried Rice (Better Than Takeout!)

In Taiwan, the perfect Egg Fried Rice is when you can see every single grain of the rice coated in oil and sauce.

Nothing is more important than to use COLD COOKED RICE for your fried rice so your egg-fried rice doesn’t become mushy.

Quick tip, wet your hands under the sink, and break the rice apart before frying to cut down the cooking time. 

Egg Fried Rice (Better Than Takeout!)

I’ll be honest, the secret to DELICIOUS Egg Fried Rice is adding a generous amount of OIL.

I season the oil by letting it saute for white parts of the green onion first before adding in the egg.

The more fat you add, the easier it is the “fry” the fried rice, and therefore, it prevents the rice from getting soggy. If you have duck lard at home, it is also a great oil to use. 

Ingredients List

I am keeping it simple with just frozen vegetables, eggs, and green onion for my Fried Rice.

However, you can also add another protein of your choice: chicken, pork, beef, or shrimp.

You can also add in other vegetables of your choice: broccoli, water chestnut, or spinach. 

Egg Fried Rice (Better Than Takeout!)

We use vegetarian oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper for the Fried Rice seasoning.

You may be surprised to see sugar in the mix, but traditionally the perfect seasoning ratio for fried rice is always 2:1:1 of salt, sugar, and MSG.

Sugar helps balance out the saltiness and gives you restaurant-style quality fried rice.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
