I love Chinese style egg rice. In all Chinese restaurants and when I visit China, I definitely order it.
And most importantly, at home I learned how to cook it almost as tasty as Chinese cooks do. I also advise you to learn how to cook this dish. It is very simple, very satisfying, light and tasty. Created for true gourmets! But it will also delight lovers of simplicity.
There are many ways to cook rice with an egg in Chinese. For example, you can make just rice with an egg, you can add vegetables there. You can of course do without an egg, just rice and vegetables. But this variation is not my favorite.
I'll tell you about how I cook rice with an egg at home.
So, the simplest option, no frills. For those who are limited in time or are just learning to cook.
Have to take:
Long grain rice;
Chicken egg;
Salt, spices (such as herbs)
Vegetable oil.
Cooking takes very little time. And rice turns out to be very aromatic, very fragrant and pleasant.
First you need to boil the rice. It should be crumbly. You can use ordinary rice in bags so as not to mess around too much (it will definitely not boil over).
Take an egg (the number of eggs depends on how much rice you have), break it into a frying pan (well-heated) and stir with a wooden spatula so that we end up with “crumbly eggs”, that is, the eggs are fried in pieces, flakes.
Now add boiled rice to our pan with eggs, mix everything, salt, add greens.
Fine! You did it. Let the rice steep a little and start eating.
You can eat this rice with an egg in Chinese for breakfast as an independent dish and as a side dish.
How to complicate a dish? Add garlic, carrots and soy sauce to it. The rice will taste more Asian than the first version. Add even more vegetables - for example, peppers and mushrooms - and the taste will become even more interesting. And chicken fillet added to rice will add satiety to the dish.
Fried rice is included in many Asian dishes. It is especially popular in China.
Most often, when they try to repeat this dish at home, they use freshly cooked rice. But this is a big flaw. Better to use pre-cooked rice that is well chilled. During this time, the rice grains will dry well, will not break and burst during frying, and will also be able to brown properly.
You can add more than just chicken to rice with an egg in Chinese. You can add shrimp, pork, and almost any vegetables to the dish.
You can add anything to fried rice. You can try rice with sweet corn, try different types of onions. For example, shallots are just perfect for Chinese style rice. Green onions are also good. A suitable ingredient is sweet corn. Any steamed vegetables. Tuna. Crab meat (real and imitation).
Chinese rice is great with different sauces. For example, oyster is good. You can also try seasoning the rice with sesame oil (right before placing it on the table) or stewing it in chicken broth.

If in Russia there is bread for everything, then in the east, or rather in Southeast Asia, it is rice. In Chinese, this word means "food".

Rice is the most popular cereal in the world, it is grown on all continents and is used in almost every national cuisine. In India, China and the countries of Southeast Asia, rice is the main and sometimes the only food that is consumed daily in large quantities for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is thanks to the stunning yield of this cereal that the population in Asian countries has reached a record value and is still growing.
In our country, rice has also received well-deserved recognition as an inexpensive and very easy-to-prepare side dish that is perfect for meat and fish dishes of Russian cuisine. However, we must admit that ordinary boiled rice is not the most delicious and interesting dish in the world. It goes well with a variety of sauces and gravies, if any, attached to a meat dish, but in itself can seem boring and not too appetizing.

Fried rice with all sorts of additives is the most popular dish of oriental cuisine, which, it turns out, can be easily cooked in our conditions from simple and affordable products.

In addition, such a side dish is unlikely to seem boring to anyone, especially since vegetables, herbs and aromatic spices can be selected and combined to your taste. Try this simple recipe for Spicy Fried Rice with Vegetables, it's a great idea for an original and healthy side dish that everyone, without exception, will love!
INGREDIENTS:
COOKING METHOD:
1. To cook rice with vegetables and an egg, boil the rice first. To do this, pour a glass of rice into a saucepan with two glasses of boiling water and cook it for 5 minutes less than indicated on the package, and then put it in a colander.
For this dish, only long-grain rice should be used, since round rice contains a lot of starch, as a result of which it becomes very boiled, sticks together and turns into porridge. In addition, when choosing this product, it is advisable to give preference to parboiled rice, since it retains more vitamins and other useful substances.
2. While the rice is cooking, let's prepare various vegetables. Cut the white leek stalk into thin rings.
3. Peel and grate the carrots on a coarse grater or grater for Korean carrots.
4. Peel the bell pepper from seeds and partitions and cut into small cubes.
5. Peel the ginger root and cut into very thin strips.
The aroma of ginger gives the fried rice a distinct oriental flavor. However, if you want a quieter, more traditional flavor, you can skip this ingredient.
6. In a large skillet, heat the oil, add all prepared vegetables and fry them over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes.
Advice! If you are the proud owner of a wok, cook rice with vegetables and an egg in it. After all, this frying pan is specially designed for cooking oriental dishes.
7. Add rice and soy sauce to vegetables, mix thoroughly and cook for another 3 minutes.
8. In the last step of cooking, add the raw eggs and immediately stir into the dish vigorously. Cook with continuous stirring for 2 minutes, until the eggs “grab” and evenly spread over the whole rice. You should definitely try the dish with salt, since soy sauce contains a large amount of salt, and if necessary, salt and pepper.
You can serve rice with vegetables and eggs as an independent vegetarian dish, as well as as a side dish for meat, chicken or fish. Enjoy your meal!
