How to fry rice with an egg. Asian dish at your home - Thai rice with egg

08.08.2020 Egg dishes

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.

Rice fried with egg, peas and green onions is a classic and one of the most famous dishes. A variation of this dish is known and loved even by those who have never tried anything Chinese.

1. Boil rice for about 10-12 minutes; almost until tender, but not completely soft. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain again.

2. Pour the eggs into a saucepan and put on a low heat, stirring occasionally, until they "grab" a little.

3. Heat oil in a large wok. Add garlic, onion and peas and fry, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes. Add rice to the wok, stir. Add eggs, soy sauce and a pinch of salt and stir.

Arrange on plates, garnish with green onions and serve.

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". If a Chinese man asked you, “Have you already eaten?”, This does not mean that he is actually interested in your diet, it was he who greeted you so much, showed attention and care, made sure that you are not hungry. Therefore, we will start today's recipes for cooking Asian-style with Chinese.

Japanese rice with seafood and vegetables


One of the variants of this dish in Japanese is when it is prepared from rice for sushi, already cooked, boiled and seasoned with vinegar. Vegetables, chicken or seafood can be added to it. It can only be shrimp, or there can be several types of seafood. The cooking principle for all options is the same, we will consider it.

Rice with vegetables in Thai


As with all previous recipes, we need cereals that have already been boiled, cooled down and even stood for at least an hour. Then it will become even more crumbly and does not form porridge with vegetables during frying. There are many variations on this theme in Thai cuisine too. Let's take the simplest one with a minimum of components.

  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and first put the nuts, fry them a little, then remove them from the pan and put them aside for now.

  4. Add cucumber and pepper. We fry for another 1 minute.
  5. It's the turn of the rice, salt, mix and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Soy sauce, by the way, is rarely added to any Asian version when cooking.

Step 1: prepare the rice for cooking.

Sort the long grain thin rice, remove any spoiled and dark grains. Then put it in a colander with a fine mesh, rinse under running water, and then throw it into a deep bowl. To make the rice softer and cook faster, soak the grains in cold running water for 30 minutes.

Step 2: cook the rice.


Pour the required amount of pure distilled water into a deep cauldron based on 1.5 cups rice grains on 2, 5 glasses liquids. Place the container on the stove, turned on at a strong level, and bring the liquid to a boil. Then screw the plate level to the lowest temperature. Re-discard the soaked rice in a colander, let the water drain and transfer to a cauldron with hot water, helping yourself with a tablespoon. Cover the cauldron with a lid and cook the rice 13 - 15 minutes until the moisture evaporates completely. During cooking, do not remove the lid from the cauldron and do not stir the rice! After the required time has elapsed, remove the cauldron from the stove, let the rice brew and cool completely in some cool place. It is better if you cook rice overnight and use it only in the morning, allowing the ingredient to brew in the refrigerator 12 hours. Ready-made Basmati rice should be crumbly, but not overcooked!

Step 3: prepare the green peas.


After about 12 hours take out a bag of frozen peas from the freezer, open the package and pour the amount you need into a deep bowl. Let the peas defrost a little. You can also get a cauldron with rice from the refrigerator.

Step 4: prepare the onion and garlic.


Peel the garlic, rinse the green onions under running water to remove all kinds of dirt and shake over the sink to remove excess liquid. Then, alternately place the ingredients on a cutting board and chop finely with a knife. Garlic in randomly shaped pieces with an approximate diameter of up to 5 millimeters or less... Just chop the onion finely, allow for pieces long up to 1 centimeter.Divide the slices into separate bowls.

Step 5: prepare the eggs.


In a deep bowl, beat the required amount of chicken eggs without shells, add salt, black ground pepper to taste and beat them with a whisk until light airy foam for 2-3 minutes.

Turn the stove to a medium level and place a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on it. When the fat is hot, pour the chopped garlic into it and stir it with a kitchen spatula, fry the vegetable for 1 - 2 minutes just for the ingredient to dissolve its flavor.
Then pour the beaten eggs into the pan, and stirring them constantly with a spatula, fry until a thick consistency with a light touch of a golden crust for 1 - 2 minutes.
Then immediately add green peas, if they are slightly frozen, this is even for the best, let the ingredients stew in the melted liquid, until the moisture completely evaporates, it will take about 2-3 minutes. Then transfer the resulting mixture to a deep bowl.
Rinse the pan under running water, pat dry with paper kitchen towels and put it back on the stove. Pour into a container 1 tablespoonvegetable oil and heat the fat to the chapel. When the fat is heated, add the boiled rice to it, and often stirring the mass with a kitchen spatula, fry the rice grains 2-3 minutes. Then add soy sauce to the rice, as well as a stewed mixture of eggs, garlic and peas. Preheat the dish for 3 minutes and can be served.

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.

To make a very tasty and unusual dish out of banal boiled rice, I propose to cook today rice with vegetables and an egg, which will help you take a fresh look at this side dish familiar from childhood. 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. It can be served as an original side dish for meat or fish, as well as used as an independent vegetarian dish.

Rice with vegetables and eggs is prepared very simply and quickly, but it turns out delicious, satisfying and extremely healthy. After all, classic white rice, after peeling of the shells, loses most of the valuable substances it contains, so the addition of various other vegetables to it returns and multiplies its useful properties. 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!

How to cook rice with vegetables and eggs - oriental style fried rice recipe with step by step photos

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tbsp. long grain rice
  • 1 leek
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 small bell pepper
  • 10 g ginger root (3 cm piece)
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 ml soy sauce
  • 40 ml vegetable oil
  • salt pepper

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!

  1. It is best to use long grain rice cooked 1–2 days before frying. If you are going to cook in the evening, you can spread it in a thin layer on parchment in the morning. Thanks to this, the grains will not stick together and there will be no lumps in the finished dish.
  2. Do not stir beaten eggs and rice too vigorously. You should have small pieces of omelet.
  3. Choose a light soy sauce for cooking rice.
  4. Add no more than 2 teaspoons of soy sauce. It should not completely color the rice, but only give it a brownish tint.
  5. Slice green onions at an angle. This will make a fairly simple dish look much nicer.
  6. Add the onion at the very end of cooking to preserve its flavor.
