Golden Fried Rice is a popular Chinese dish that differs from traditional fried rice in that it uses egg yolk to coat the rice grains before frying. This gives the rice a bright golden color with a strong salty flavor. Not only does the egg yolk add color to the rice, it also enhances the texture of the rice and makes it slightly sticky. We are able to control the fried rice consistency freely.
The preparation of Golden Fried Rice includes several key steps in order to make the best fried rice. First, it’s best to choose the day’s rice or leftovers, as this is lower in moisture and sturdier, helping to prevent the rice from becoming mushy during the cooking process. We can mix the rice with raw egg yolks so that each grain is completely coated. The rice is then tossed in a hot pan with a small amount of oil to ensure it is evenly cooked and has a slightly crispy texture.
We can also add other ingredients such as diced vegetables, meat or seafood to the rice. Common additions include peas, carrots, shrimp, diced ham or chicken. Seasonings such as soy sauce, salt and pepper can also enhance the flavor of the dish, while green onions and other fresh herbs can be used as garnishes to add texture to the dish.
