How to Make Delicious Black Food Eggplant Fried Rice Easily
Let’s make a super nutritious black food eggplant fried rice, perfect as a special meal for kids during their school break. This dish might look dark, but it’s packed with flavor, nutrients, and is visually appealing.
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 eggplant
- 1/2 onion
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 carrot
- 1 handful green onions
- 3 tsp soy sauce
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Eggplant fried rice can be whipped up in a flash, making it a fantastic menu option for kids during their school holidays. It’s so easy and delicious, you’ll want to make it again and again.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the star ingredient, the eggplant! Wash it thoroughly, pat it dry, and dice it into small, about 0.5cm cubes. Do the same for the onion and carrot.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan. Add the chopped green onions and sauté over low heat until fragrant, creating fragrant scallion oil. Once the aroma is released, add the diced eggplant, onion, and carrot. Stir-fry over medium heat until the vegetables soften.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are partially cooked, season with 3 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir well while cooking to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed. The sugar not only adds sweetness but also enhances the umami of the ingredients.
Step 5
Add the prepared rice to the pan and mix it with the seasoned vegetables. Stir-fry everything together. Since eggplant can be eaten raw when fresh, it only needs a light sauté, but for fried rice, cooking it thoroughly until tender will yield a better texture.
Step 6
Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps of rice, ensuring it mixes well with all the ingredients. Continue to stir-fry until the rice is fully combined and has absorbed the delicious seasoning. It’s important to fry the rice until each grain is coated.
Step 7
While the rice is frying, prepare a sunny-side-up egg in another pan. A perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg, especially loved by children, will make the fried rice even more appetizing. Bursting the yolk and mixing it with the rice is pure bliss!
Step 8
And there you have it! A creamy, delicious eggplant fried rice, reminiscent of risotto, is ready! It looks great, has a wonderful texture, and is packed with nutrients, making it a hit even with picky eaters. Enjoy this delightful dish with your whole family!
