BETTER THAN TAKEOUT - Easy Egg Fried Rice Recipe

Egg fried rice is an easy dish, but most people (and even restaurants) don’t do a good job. It’s usually too oily, heavy or salty. This recipe has an amazing balance of flavor while remaining light. Learn how to prepare egg fried rice, the right way!

**INGREDIENTS**

**FOR PRECOOK**

- 4 egg whites [4个鸡蛋清]
- 1/4 cup of green peas [1/4杯豌豆]
- 1/4 cup of carrot cubes [1/4杯萝卜丁]
- 1/2 cup of cabbage [1/2杯白菜]
- 1 tbsp of vegetable oil [1汤匙植物油]
- 1/4 tsp of salt or to taste [1/4茶匙盐或者根据个人口味调整]

**FOR FRYING THE RICE**

- 4 egg yolks [4个蛋黄]
- 2 tbsp of vegetable oil [2汤匙植物油]
- 2 cups of cooked rice [2杯米饭]
- 1 tbsp of rose wine [1汤匙玫瑰露酒]
- 1/2 tsp of salt or to taste [1/2茶匙盐]
- 1/2 tsp of black pepper [1/2茶匙黑胡椒]

**STEPS**

- Heat up your wok. Add the oil and egg whites. Egg white is really easy to stick to the wok, it is better to use a non-stick wok.
- Add all the vegetable. Stir it for 1 or 2 minutes.
- Add 1/4 tsp salt, give it a mix and set it aside.
- Mix the rice with egg yolks until you don’t see white rice.
- Heat your wok to high temperature and then turn the heat to medium.Put 2 tbsp of cold vegetable oil and add in the rice immediately. (This is a little trick to help the rice not to stick to the bottom since I don’t have a non-stick wok.)
- Use your spatula to break down the big piece, so the rice cook evenly.
- After a few minutes stirring, you can smell the egg, also you can see that your rice is popping. That means you are doing correctly.
- I like to put a tbsp of rose wine. It is optional. I really like the rose fragrance mixed with egg fried rice. Smells so good. And also it makes the rice a little soft.
- Mix it with the vegetables.
- Add half tsp of salt and ground pepper to taste. Give it a mix and you are done.

This looks so good! So that you know the reason your yolks were different colors is because of what the chicken was eating before laying the eggs. When a chicken eats only chicken feed the yolks are pale yellow but when she eats bugs, protein and plants her eggs come out with darker and much more nutritious! Those were some great looking yolks you used!

I just got done making this and it turned out great! I normally have such a hard time making fried rice because the rice will stick to the pan but using this method it didn't! Can't tell you enough how thankful I am! I feel like a real pro chef. :)

I have been cooking Chinese food for over 30 years. Done egg fried rice countless times but since doing it this way it has gone to another level. Absolutely superb method and so tasty. Have also found your other recipes to be just as good. Very good site and great recipes and tips.

I have cooked fried rice for about 40 years - but I think that this will be far better than my old recipe! I'll try it your way! P.S. You are SOOOO CUTE!

[dmitrikguajardo]

Wow amazing. I love that kind of rice too. I would of never thought of dipping in egg yellow. I had a korean friend who taught me alot of the recipes you share. But he never taught me that one.

So many Chinese recipes use techniques that are sophisticated but easy to replicate once you've learned them. And you are a great teacher. What were once considered "unusual ingredients" are largely available in most supermarkets on the Asian isle and in the produce departments. I've always had my favorite Chinese take-out restaurants, but knowing how to prepare some of my favorite Chinese dishes at home gives me practice using my (seasoned) wok -- it's fun, and it saves a few bucks. Thank you for your easy to follow recipes and gentle demeanor.

The colour of the yolk varies depending on the diet of the chickens. I grew up with our own chickens in the backyard :D
