Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s make delicious fried rice using Chamdream rice from Gyeonggi-do, where each grain stands out!
Step 2
First, rinse 1 cup of Chamdream rice thoroughly. It’s best to rinse it until the water runs clear. Once rinsed, put the rice in your rice cooker and cook it as you normally would. Freshly cooked, fluffy rice is the key to great fried rice.
Step 3
Prepare all the ingredients for the fried rice. Finely chop the onion and carrot. Clean the shrimp tails and shred the crab sticks lengthwise. Trim the bottom off the king oyster mushroom and chop it finely. Chop the green onions. Thinly slice the garlic for better aroma.
Step 4
Now, let’s start making the fried rice. Heat a pan over medium heat and add about 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Add the thinly sliced garlic and finely chopped carrots, and sauté until fragrant. The carrots will soften slightly and release their sweetness.
Step 5
Push the sautéed carrots and garlic to one side of the pan and add a little more olive oil to the empty space. We’re going to make soft scrambled eggs. Pour in the beaten eggs and let them cook slightly before scrambling with a spatula for the best texture.
Step 6
As the eggs begin to set, break them into bite-sized pieces with a spatula to create scrambled eggs. Avoid overcooking, as they can become dry. Mix them while they are still tender.
Step 7
Add the prepared shrimp tails, chopped king oyster mushrooms, and onions to the pan and stir-fry together. Sauté until the vegetables are cooked through and their moisture is released. Stir-frying quickly over high heat helps preserve the crispness of the vegetables.
Step 8
Once the shrimp tails turn a lovely pink, bring all the ingredients in the pan together and mix them well. The delicious aroma of fried rice will start to fill your kitchen at this point!
Step 9
Now, add two bowls of the freshly cooked, fluffy Chamdream rice to the pan. Using a spatula, gently break up the rice and mix it with the other ingredients, being careful not to mash the grains.
Step 10
Once the rice is mixed well with the ingredients, drizzle 2 Tbsp of soy sauce and 2 Tbsp of oyster sauce over the rice. Stir-fry thoroughly with the spatula, ensuring the sauces are evenly distributed among the rice grains. Keep the heat at medium during this step.
Step 11
Add the shredded crab sticks to the pan and gently stir-fry them with the rice. Mix them in softly to avoid breaking them apart. The tender texture and sweet flavor of the crab sticks will add a wonderful depth to the fried rice.
Step 12
Finally, add the chopped green onions and mix everything together once more. Turn off the heat and sprinkle 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds for a nutty aroma. Give it a light mix to combine all the flavors, and your delicious fried rice is ready!
Step 13
Thanks to the chewy and fluffy texture of Chamdream rice, this fried rice is exceptionally delicious. Each grain stands out, offering a rich flavor experience. Enjoy your meal!
