Ingredients- 1/2 cucumber
- 1/2 onion
- 2 eggs
- Cooking oil
- Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- Salt to taste
- 2 bowls of rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the onion thinly after peeling. Sliced onions will soften nicely when stir-fried, adding a pleasant sweetness to the dish.
Step 2
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Using a peeler, remove the skin, then cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Seed the cucumber by cutting each half into two pieces and removing the inner core. Finally, slice thinly into a triangle shape for a beautiful presentation. Cutting the cucumber not too thinly will retain its satisfying crunch.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced cucumber and onion and stir-fry until they become translucent. Stir-frying them well will bring out their natural sweetness.
Step 4
Once the onion and cucumber are softened and look translucent, gently push them to one side of the pan to create some space.
Step 5
Crack the 2 eggs into the cleared space in the pan. Adding the eggs directly to the hot pan will help create a wonderfully soft scrambled egg texture.
Step 6
Immediately stir the eggs with chopsticks, scrambling them quickly until they form soft curds. Avoid overcooking them; a slightly moist texture is ideal for mixing with the rice.
Step 7
Once the scrambled eggs are cooked to your liking, mix them gently with the cucumber and onion that were pushed to the side. Stir everything together lightly to combine.
Step 8
Now, add the 2 bowls of warm rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and mix it thoroughly with the other ingredients.
Step 9
Finally, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and add pepper (about two shakes) to enhance the aroma. Season with salt to your preference. Stir everything together one last time to ensure the flavors are well combined. Your delicious cucumber egg fried rice is now ready!
Step 10
This freshly made cucumber and egg fried rice offers a refreshing aroma that invigorates your senses, making the whole meal a delightful experience. Even children who are picky about cucumbers tend to enjoy this dish! Enjoy a satisfying and nutritious meal with this simple yet flavorful cucumber fried rice.
