Equipment

  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Mixing bowl
  • Stove
  • Pot with cover lid
  • Wok pan or a large frying pan
  • Chopping board
  • Chopstick or fork
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

For the precooked rice

  • 1 ½ cups short grain rice
  • 3 cups hot water

For the fried rice

  • 5 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 5 pcs. eggs large
  • 4 ½ cups cooked rice
  • 6 stalks spring onions finely sliced
  • 1 tsp. seasoned salt
  • ½ tsp. ground white pepper
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar

For serving

  • 1 stalk spring onions the green parts, finely sliced

Instructions
 

For the precooked rice

  • Put the rice and hot water in a pot. On medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Leave the lid half open, and on low heat, let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and cover the lid when the rice absorbs the water. Let it cool to room temperature. Store it in the refrigerator at least overnight or for 24 hours.

For the fried rice

  • Crack the eggs in a bowl. With a chopstick, whisk them lightly, just enough to break the egg yolks. Be careful not to overmix.
  • In a wok pan, heat the vegetable oil on medium to high heat. When the oil is heated, put the eggs in the pan. Constantly stir the eggs.
  • When the eggs are scrambled but not fully cooked, add the rice. When the rice is coated with oil, lower the heat. Occasionally stir the rice while cooking, to prevent lumps.
  • Add the spring onions, seasoned salt, white pepper, and sugar, and stir. Turn off the heat.
  • When serving, sprinkle the finely chopped green parts of spring onions on top.

Notes

  • Neutral oils such as canola, sunflower, or avocado oil are the best choices for fried rice. We don't recommend vegetable oils having a more robust taste, such as olive oil.
