Poh Ling Yeow Instagram – Home Style Fried Rice Tips!
•When I say homestyle, I mean achievable indoors with frypans you already own. Authentic smoky fried rice is just not realistic on an electric stove so here’s how you still get a whole lot of delish without too much fuss.
•A big general tip is to be looking out for a dry pan. To be clear, after you’ve cooked everything and about to add the rice there should be zero moisture in the pan.
•Never have protein or veg cut bigger than 1cm dice as it doesn’t seal quickly and will keep leaching liquid into the pan which is then absorbed into the rice. Dry is key!
•When it comes to stir frying don’t overcrowd the pan or it will be a steam fest and the rice grains won’t be nicely separated. There’s an issue of weight here too. If there’s too many ingredients flying around in the pan, the rice will be getting squished to mush. It’s better to divide the ingredients and cook multiple batches – you can transfer cooked batches into a rice cooker set on warm to keep it piping hot.
•Of course, pan should be on high heat. The larger the surface area the quicker that moisture will evaporate. Pots would be a crime 😫.
•Order of ingredients entering pan – oil, aromatics/aliums, protein, veg, rice, seasoning.
•Never waste leftover rice. Always freeze it for a rainy day fried rice!
•Any oil or even butter is fine. I just always use olive because I live in olive oil country and luuuurve it!
•Add egg at the very end by making a well in the middle and adding a dash of sesame oil for flavour but also to stop the eggs from sticking. Hit me up for any questions below!
PS. Yes I said “don’t worry about wok” 🥸😣
PPS. Please go away Uncle Roger 😅
