Ingredients- 1/2 bowl of warm rice (approx. 150g)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 stalk of green onion (white part)
- 1 Tbsp anchovy sauce (approx. 15ml)
- Cooking oil, as needed
- A pinch of sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped white parts of the green onion and stir-fry gently to create fragrant green onion oil. The more golden the green onions become, the richer the flavor will be.
Step 2
Once the green onions are sufficiently stir-fried, add the warm rice to the pan. Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry, ensuring each grain is coated with oil. This step is crucial for achieving well-separated, flavorful rice.
Step 3
Push the rice to one side of the pan. In the cleared space, pour in 1 tablespoon of anchovy sauce. Let it sizzle and bubble – this will release a smoky aroma, which is the secret to delicious fried rice. Let it cook for about 10 seconds before mixing it thoroughly with the rice and continuing to stir-fry.
Step 4
Now, push the rice mixture to the side again. Crack the egg into the empty space in the pan. Gently scramble the egg with chopsticks without over-mixing, creating soft, fluffy curds. It’s best to slightly undercook it, as it will continue to cook and blend smoothly with the rice.
Step 5
Take your prepared rice bowl. Fill it with a portion of the fried rice. Then, spoon the freshly scrambled egg generously on top. Cover the egg with more fried rice and press down firmly with a spoon or your hand to shape it. This compacting step helps the rice hold its form when inverted.
Step 6
Carefully invert the rice bowl onto a serving plate. Gently shake the bowl to release the fried rice in a neat dome. Finish by sprinkling a pinch of sesame seeds on top. Your beautifully presented and delicious Chef Ryu Soo-young’s fried rice is now ready to enjoy!
