We’re sharing a special fried rice recipe that’s perfect for any occasion.
Main Ingredients- 1 large egg
- 1.5 ripe tomatoes
- 1 bowl of warm cooked rice (approx. 200g)
- 1 tsp curry powder
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 1 large egg into a bowl and add 1 teaspoon of curry powder. The curry powder not only adds a subtle flavor to the fried rice but also gives the rice a more appetizing golden hue when cooked. Use a chopstick or fork to gently whisk the egg and curry powder until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Prepare 1 bowl of warm cooked rice. Rice that is too cold can become clumpy when fried, so it’s best to use rice that’s been slightly warmed in the microwave or freshly cooked rice. Pour the whisked egg and curry mixture over the rice in the bowl and mix thoroughly, ensuring each grain of rice is coated with the curry mixture.
Step 3
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. If you cut them too small, they might become mushy while stir-frying. Cutting them into appropriate sizes will help maintain a better texture. Prepare the cut tomatoes.
Step 4
Now, let’s start stir-frying! Heat 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the rice coated with the egg and curry mixture to the pan.
Step 5
To prevent the rice from clumping, spread it out on the pan with a spatula. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly. Continuously break up and stir the rice grains with your spatula while cooking to achieve a fluffy, delicious fried rice where each grain is separated. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the rice grains are loose and slightly crispy.
Step 6
Once the rice is sufficiently stir-fried and fluffy, add the prepared tomatoes and stir-fry them together. Cook for just 1-2 more minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened. Finally, season with black pepper to your preference. The combination of curry and tomatoes means you likely won’t need much additional seasoning.
Step 7
Transfer the finished tomato and egg fried rice to a nice serving plate. For an extra appealing presentation, sprinkle with dried parsley to garnish, if desired. Don’t worry if you don’t have parsley; it will still be delicious!
Step 8
With such simple ingredients and a short cooking time, you can create a remarkably appealing and tasty fried rice. It looks great, tastes wonderful, and makes for a satisfying meal. Enjoy your delicious dish!
