🥚🍚 Golden Egg Fried Rice - Authentic restaurant recipe with great color, aroma and flavor

Editor's Preface

"Gold-encased Silver Egg Fried Rice" is Hong Kong's most cherished take on classic fried rice—the rice grains are completely enveloped in a golden egg liquid, each distinct yet not dry. The fragrant egg and rice complement each other perfectly, making it a perfect accompaniment to Chinese dishes or enjoyed on its own. This time, we'll explain the winning details of restaurant chefs, so even beginners can achieve the "gold-encased white jade" effect with zero fail!

Ingredients preparation

• 2 bowls of white rice (preferably leftover rice, or fresh rice that has cooled and dried slightly)

• 2-3 eggs (yolks and whites separated)

• 2 tablespoons oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• Chopped green onions

• (Optional) Vegetables, carrots, shrimps, ham, etc.

Detailed steps

🥚 1. Rice with egg yolk

• Use a rice spoon to loosen the rice, making sure each grain is not sticking together. Add the egg yolk mixture and mix well, until each grain is evenly coated with egg yolk. (This is how you get the golden coating!)

• Editor’s tip: The rice must be dry enough, otherwise it will be difficult to “get golden coating” .

🍳 2. Protein processing

• In a separate wok, fry the egg whites until half cooked into large egg white flowers, or save them for cooking rice to enhance the visual whiteness.

• After frying the egg whites, set aside and fry with the rice later.

🍲 3. Fried rice and combination

• Heat oil in a pan, pour the rice and egg yolk into the pan and stir-fry over medium heat, allowing each grain to slowly separate. Stir-fry until the rice grains jump up and become golden and shiny (you can hear a slight "pop" sound).

• When you see the silvery white egg white particles, add them and stir-fry until they are loose, then season with salt.

🥄 4. Add green onions and reduce heat

• Sprinkle with chopped green onions. If using other ingredients, add them at this time and mix well.

• Make sure to fry until the rice grains are distinct and not sticking to the pan, and taste before serving.

🥢 5. Serve immediately

• Serve hot, with the aroma of rice and eggs, and a golden and silvery appearance, it is best eaten with soup.

Editor's Tips

• If you want the rice grains to be less sticky, you can add a small amount of oil to the rice before frying, which will make it easier to separate.

• Many people make the mistake of cooking rice with egg whites and egg yolks at the same time - they must be used separately, with egg whites as garnish and egg yolks as the main ingredient for stir-frying.

• Use the right amount of water for fresh rice, and don’t worry about it becoming slightly dry after baking for a while.

• If you want the egg flavor to be more pronounced, you can use an extra egg yolk to make it more golden and fragrant.

Eating experience 😋

The rice is fragrant on the outside and soft on the inside, coated in a golden, glistening egg yolk. The egg white adds a touch of depth, and the eggy aroma permeates the rice with every bite. Adding vegetables and ham creates a truly exciting and delicious bowl of comfort food!
