Baek Jong-won's Charred Flavor Egg Fried Rice

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Use cold rice or unheated instant rice instead of freshly cooked hot rice to minimize moisture and prevent clumping, ensuring each grain stays separate and crisp.
• Using seasoning salt instead of regular salt brings out the umami-rich, mouth-coating flavor typical of Chinese restaurant dishes.
• When mixing in the rice, remove the pan from the heat or turn off the flame briefly and press down with the back of a ladle to avoid burning while mixing smoothly.
• Always pour soy sauce onto the bare, hot pan surface—not directly onto the eggs or green onions—to properly caramelize it and achieve deep, smoky flavor.
