Fried Rice

You might be thinking of the western version of this dish... rice fried with egg and some mixed vegetables and that's it. But it is not. You see, back in Malaysia, fried rice is considered as an individual meal. Not only it has egg and rice, it has other ingredients too! Prawns, Chinese sausages (lap cheong) and some even have proper chicken meat in it. Needless to say, it is definitely delicious and you'll want more!

Me heart fried rice and I thought of sharing this awesome and easy-to-prepare dish!

First, chop up some garlic and onion if you want some sweetness in it. I prefer garlic and I chopped quite a handful of it : P This dish is really a flexible dish. You can put in any vegetables and any meat as you like. For me, I've chopped up some carrots and french beans into small bite sizes. As for the meat, mmm... luncheon meat! Good and wholesome meat in a can! It is slightly salty and when you fry this together with your rice, it gives a wonderful fragrance that makes you drool... mmm! Boil your rice a couple of hours in advance and place them in the fridge.

Alright, heat up some oil in a pan. Be generous with your oil as you'll be frying lots of ingredients. When the oil is ready, fry your garlic until fragrant. Put in the luncheon meat and followed by the vegetables. Once they're quite properly cooked, push the condiments to one side of your pan. Then break an egg (or 2) onto the empty side. Let one side of egg to be slightly cooked and mix up all the ingredients together. At the same time, try to break up the egg into smaller pieces too.

Pour the rice into the pan and give it a good mix and fry. Season your fried rice with soya sauce, pepper and oyster sauce. For a different twist, you can add HP sauce too! It tastes good too! If you find it difficult to mix the sauces evenly, add in some water to ease it. Make sure all water is completely dried so that your rice will have the "fried" taste instead of the "boiled" texture.

Toss and toss. Fry and fry! Ooo... look so yummy!

Et voila! 

Ready to be eaten! 

Mmmm... the fried rice was really tasty and fragrant. Every grain of rice was coated with oil and somehow I felt the rice was so pretty... hehehe. Although the taste cannot compare with Brickfields Sin Kee's fried rice, this gives us a real homey taste. Really comfort our hearts and stomachs : P
