A delicious and aromatic Chinese dish for those who have cooked rice lying around.

6 secrets of perfect fried rice

1. It is best to use long grain rice cooked 1–2 days before frying. If you are going to cook in the evening, you can boil the rice in the morning and spread it in a thin layer on parchment. Thanks to this, the grains will not stick together and there will be no lumps in the finished dish.
2. Do not stir beaten eggs and rice too vigorously. You should have small pieces of omelet.
3. For rice, choose a light soy sauce.
4. Add no more than 2 teaspoons of soy sauce. It should not completely color the rice, but only give it a brownish tint.
5. Chop green onions at an angle. This will make a fairly simple dish look much prettier.
6. Add onions at the very end of cooking to preserve their flavor.

What ingredients do you need

• 2 slices of bacon;
• 3 eggs;
• 500-700 g of boiled rice;
• salt to taste;
• 2 teaspoons of soy sauce
• a few feathers of green onions;
• some sesame oil.

How to cook egg fried rice

Cut the bacon into small pieces and place in a preheated non-stick skillet. Grill over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden brown. Add the bacon and leave some of the grease from underneath in the skillet.

Beat the eggs thoroughly until smooth and pour into the pan. When the egg mixture begins to thicken, place the rice on top of it.

Stir the ingredients gently but quickly, separating the eggs into small pieces. It is convenient to do this with chopsticks.

When the rice is warm, add the bacon, salt and soy sauce and stir well.

Remove skillet from heat, add finely chopped onion and sesame oil and stir again. The dish can be served both hot and cold.
