🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the savory and rich wok flavor of Chinese restaurant fried rice at home.
  • Those who want to repurpose leftover cooking oil into a versatile flavored oil instead of discarding it.

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • cooking oil, enough to coat the pan
  • 1 green onion
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 0.5 tbsp minced ginger
  • 100g pork fat or pork belly
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 bowl of rice

Recipe 🍳

  1. Add a generous amount of cooking oil to a pan, then add green onion, garlic, and minced ginger. Fry gently over low heat until the green onion becomes soft.
  2. Once the vegetables release their aroma, add pork fat or pork belly and fry until crispy to create a rich pork and scallion oil.
  3. Remove the fried meat and vegetable solids from the oil. Crack the egg into the pan with plenty of the prepared pork and scallion oil.
  4. Scramble the egg, rolling it around, then pour soy sauce along the edge of the pan to sizzle and infuse flavor.
  5. Add 1 bowl of rice (preferably day-old or not heated) and stir-fry over high heat until the grains are separate and fluffy. Serve immediately.
  1. Fry green onion, garlic, ginger, and pork in cooking oil to make savory pork and scallion oil.
  2. Scramble egg in the pork and scallion oil, then pour soy sauce along the pan edge to char slightly for aroma.
  3. Add rice and stir-fry over high heat to evaporate moisture until the rice is dry and fluffy.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When making the pork and scallion oil, avoid high heat to prevent the vegetables from burning and turning bitter. Use low heat to extract the oil slowly.
  • Let the soy sauce sizzle and slightly char on the pan surface to achieve the deep, wok-like flavor characteristic of Chinese restaurants.
  • Using cold leftover rice or instant rice without reheating helps prevent clumping and gives a better fluffy texture.
