The best fried rice

nottsgirl

Hi, how are you
I want to make fried rice tomorrow. I’ve cooked some rice and it’s in the fridge for tomorrow. I have eggs, tenderstem broccoli, quorn chicken pieces, soy sauce, sesame oil. What else do I need? How do I make the absolutely nicest fried rice?

Lots of ginger. Peppers. Peas and sweetcorn. Red onion.
 
Let the rice come up to room temp before cooking it. Not too much oil or it’ll just be greasy. I normally do the egg first, then any frozen veg or whatnot, then rice, then seasoning. Good hot wok. If you want some crispy bits pat it all down and let it catch just a little a few times, keep it moving the rest of the time. I’d probably sautée the broccoli separately first and then just add in at the end.
 
Sesame oil and a pinch of msg for authentic flavour. Only the tiniest drop of soy sauce if you must, a pinch of salt is better.

Make an omelette in the pan first then remove and cut into chunks. Pre-steam the brocolli. Put more oil in the pan and fry the quorn in small chunks (I haven't eaten quorn in over thirty years but that's what I would do with chicken). Then add rice, oil, sesame oil, seasoning. When cooked through add the egg and lastly the brocolli cut into small pieces.
 
Cook everything separately, the stir it all together just before serving, I read in a Lindsay Bareham column.

Definitely don't add eggs to a pan full of stuff. Make a thin omelette then add it.

Missing ingredient here is the updated will. Everyone on here knows about the danger of rice badgers.
