Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today’s recipe is about making a satisfying fried rice and a soft rolled omelet conveniently in one pan, utilizing ‘eggs’, the nation’s favorite ingredient. With just eggs, you can enjoy a wonderful main dish and a complementary side dish alongside your rice.
Step 2
First, crack 5 eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Gently whisk the eggs with a spatula or chopsticks until the yolks and whites are smoothly combined, avoiding creating too much foam. Whisking too vigorously can cause the rolled omelet to break apart, so be careful.
Step 3
Prepare the chicken breast and carrot for the fried rice. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces (about 1cm) and finely mince the carrot. Minced carrot blends better into the fried rice and improves the texture.
Step 4
Heat a wide pan over medium-low heat, add a little cooking oil, and then add the prepared carrot and chicken breast. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the chicken to remove any gamey smell. Stir-fry until the chicken breast is fully cooked and the carrot is slightly softened. Stir occasionally to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the pan.
Step 5
Add 2 bowls of warm cooked rice to the stir-fried chicken and carrots. Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps of rice and mix everything together.
Step 6
Pour half of the whisked egg mixture over the rice. Lightly stir-fry just until the egg is cooked into soft curds mixed with the rice. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the egg dry and tough.
Step 7
Now, pour 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce around the edges of the pan. Stir everything together until the savory oyster sauce is well combined with the rice and egg. Turn off the heat and serve the delicious egg fried rice in a bowl.
Step 8
Push the fried rice to one side of the pan and add a tiny bit more cooking oil to the empty side. Pour the remaining egg mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly. Cook over low heat until the egg begins to set around the edges.
Step 9
When the edges of the egg start to turn white and cook, gently fold it over using a spatula, tilting the pan as you go. First, fold it in half, then fold it again into thirds to create a long, rolled omelet shape. It’s crucial to maintain low heat so the egg doesn’t burn.
Step 10
Cut the beautifully cooked rolled omelet into bite-sized pieces and serve it alongside the fried rice or on a separate plate. You’ll have a delightful meal featuring both the soft rolled omelet and hearty egg fried rice!
