Main Ingredients- 1/4 can (approx. 50g) sliced or diced ham
- 1/2 can (approx. 70g) tuna, drained
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 bowl (approx. 200g) warm cooked rice
Seasonings- 1/2 Tbsp perilla oil (deulgireum)
- Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 Tbsp perilla oil (deulgireum)
- Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, dice the ham into bite-sized pieces (about 1cm cubes). Drain the tuna thoroughly using a sieve. This prevents the fried rice from becoming too oily and helps retain the ingredients’ natural flavors.
Step 2
Lightly coat a preheated non-stick frying pan with oil over medium heat, or use a paper towel dipped in oil to wipe the pan. This prevents sticking and ensures the ingredients cook evenly.
Step 3
Add the diced ham and drained tuna to the coated pan. Stir-fry over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the ham is lightly browned and the tuna’s moisture has evaporated. This enhances their flavors.
Step 4
Once the ham and tuna are nicely sautéed, add the warm bowl of rice. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and mix everything together with the ham and tuna. Gently stir-fry to ensure the rice grains are separated.
Step 5
After the rice is well combined with the other ingredients, it’s time to season. Add 1/2 tablespoon of perilla oil and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir-fry for about 1 minute until the seasoning is evenly distributed. It’s best to add salt gradually, considering the saltiness of the tuna and ham.
Step 6
Once the fried rice is almost done, spread it out evenly in one side of the pan. This creates space to add the egg. Flattening the surface of the fried rice will help the egg cook beautifully.
Step 7
Crack the fresh egg directly onto the flattened portion of the fried rice. If you don’t break the yolk, it will cook like a sunny-side-up egg on top.
Step 8
As the egg white begins to set, gently break the yolk with chopsticks or a spatula and mix it into the fried rice. This process infuses the entire dish with the rich, creamy flavor of the egg, making it even more delicious.
Step 9
Continue to stir-fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the egg is scrambled and well incorporated into the fried rice. Your delicious Tuna Ham and Egg Fried Rice is now ready to serve! Enjoy it while it’s hot.
