konnichiwa it's Nami from just one cook book back with another video for you
and today I'm going to show you how to make basic fried rice
it's simple easy and fast to make so when you want to make a quick meal, you can give this recipe a try
the fried rice in japan is made with short grain rice
I explained some tips on how to prepare the rice over on my blog ,so make sure to check it out
now let's get started
microwave your one-day-old 2 bowls rice that’s kept in the refrigerator until room temperature or warm
cut the white part of one green onion into rounds and the green part diagonally
dividing the white and green parts
cut 2 slices ham into ¼ inch square pieces
crack and whisk one egg in a bowl
heat the wok (or the large frying pan) on medium high heat, once it’s hot, add 1 tbsp oil and swirl around
add the beaten egg and mix around so that fluffy egg will be created
while some parts of the egg are still a little bit runny (not all the way cooked), transfer to a plate
add 1 tbsp oil and start cooking ham and white parts of the chopped green onion then stir fry
add the room temp/warm rice into the wok (frying pan)
separate the rice with a spatula, without damaging the rice
add the cooked egg back in the wok and break into smaller pieces while you combine with the rice
season with salt and white pepper
add 2 tsp soy sauce
don’t make it mushy by pressing down, but fluff out the rice so it is coated with oil and gets nice wok char
add green parts of the chopped green onion
after tossing a few more times, transfer to a plate
fried rice at chinese restaurants in japan is often served in a dome shape
sprinkle green onion on top, and serve
itadaki masu!
