Hi everyone
My uncle cooked too much rice yesterday, which we refrigerated and has got hard
Cold rice is only good for making fried rice
Egg Fried rice
I also prepared some eggs
Let's cook 'fried rice with egg and spring onion' with the chili pepper here
We don't need to stir the egg now
Just fry it in the wok
When the egg smells good, we can use it for stir-frying
The eggs are done
Simply cut the chili pepper into dices
This chili is actually not spicy, huh?
No, not spicy
Cut a red bell pepper for the color
Similarly, cut into dices
Don't throw away the seeds
Actually the dish smells very nice with the seeds
This is not spicy at all
In restaurants, we usually discard the seeds
Because the dish doesn't look good with them
Finally, cut some spring onion
Let me add more spring onion
Because my uncle likes it
Put aside
Ok. Done
Please take the egg
Ok. Sure
Don't stir the egg after you add it into the wok. Just fry it like this
Until you can smell the aroma
Flip the egg when it smells nice
Uncle, the dish cooked here will taste better than those cooked on your wood stove
Of course. You can easily tune the heat
Done
Wow. Smells great
See it, uncle? There's still 'wok hei' (smoke) in the wok
Come on, uncle
Time for meal!
Try the fried rice that I cooked for you
This is your bowl. Let me scoop some for you
Come on, aunt
Just take a bite first to see if you are used to it
This is yours, uncle
Umm. Delicious
Tasty indeed, huh?
Yes
Is it spicy, uncle?
Nope. Not at all
This fried rice is even better than the one that I had in Chengdu last time
The clear aroma of the green chili pepper is really nice
When cooking fried rice at home
You don't actually need to stir the egg
Just fry it first. Then stir-fry other ingredients
In addition, the most important point in cooking fried rice is that, the heat should be uniform
Avoid sudden temperature change
That is, to keep the 'wok hei' in the wok
Such that you can stir-fry the rice
Without the 'wok hei', the rice won't be delicious
So I bet this fried rice is better than those cooked on my uncle's wood stove
Yep
One more thing, don't use hot rice for cooking fried rice
Hot rice won't taste good after stir-frying
It has to be cold rice
Also even for cold rice it should be on the harder side
It won't work if it's too soft/mushy
Mushy rice won't turn out fluffy like this
It will stick together and clump up
Ok. That's the end of this video
If you like it, please try at home
Bye-bye!
