Ingredients- 3 strips of White Pollock Roe
- 1 bunch of Green Onions (chopped)
- Cooking Oil
- 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 4 Eggs
- 3 bowls of Rice (warm rice)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 4 eggs into a clean bowl. Whisk them thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the egg whites are completely broken and the mixture is smooth. Beating the eggs well ensures they mix perfectly with the rice.
Step 2
Add 3 bowls of warm rice to the beaten eggs. Use a spatula or spoon to gently mix everything together, ensuring each grain of rice is coated with the egg mixture. The key is to mix gently to prevent the rice from clumping.
Step 3
Now, prepare the star of our dish: 3 strips of white pollock roe. Remove the membrane from the roe and use only the eggs inside. Add the pollock roe to the egg and rice mixture. Using kitchen scissors, finely chop the roe directly into the bowl. Chopping it finely is important for a pleasant texture, rather than leaving large chunks.
Step 4
Gently mash and mix the finely chopped pollock roe into the egg and rice mixture using a spoon or spatula. Ensure the salty flavor and umami of the pollock roe are evenly distributed throughout the rice and egg. This thorough mixing is key to a delicious outcome.
Step 5
Heat a wok or a deep frying pan over medium heat. Add a generous amount of cooking oil. Using enough oil is crucial to prevent sticking and achieve a delicious fried rice.
Step 6
Once the oil is shimmering slightly, add the chopped green onions. Stir-fry them over medium-low heat until fragrant and they release their aromatic oils, creating a flavorful green onion oil. Be careful not to burn the onions.
Step 7
When the fragrant aroma of the green onion oil fills the air, add all of the prepared pollock roe and egg rice mixture to the pan. Spread it out evenly in the pan to facilitate easy stir-frying.
Step 8
Stir-fry continuously with a spatula, making sure the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Continue stir-frying over medium heat until the rice grains are separate and slightly toasted. The eggs will cook and bind with the rice grains beautifully.
Step 9
Once the rice is nicely fried and slightly crispy, drizzle 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce evenly over the rice. Oyster sauce adds a wonderful depth of flavor and umami. Mix it in well with the rice as you continue to stir-fry.
Step 10
Finally, add a pinch of black pepper to your liking. Pepper enhances the overall flavor of the fried rice. Give it one last quick stir to combine everything. Your delicious Pollock Roe and Egg Fried Rice is now ready to enjoy!
