Easy Fried Rice Recipe

May 12, 2014 by Jessica

Fried rice (nasi goreng) is my dad’s speciality. He likes to treat us by cooking his version of fried rice for breakfast. Back when I was younger, my dad would make it even more special by making a nasi goreng wrap. The wrap is nasi goreng wrapped in a thin layer of egg crepe. I remember that his egg crepe was always so thin and pretty looking goldish yellow. Sometimes he made it even more special by adding a sunny side up with runny yolk that would run when we cut it open. So so good!

Anyway, my husband and I love to cook his recipe at our own kitchen because it’s so easy and quick. We could make this dish within 10 minutes and it’s always so delicious. For our version though, we like to add a bit of greens (usually choy sum) just to make it feel healthier. Heheh.

Easy Fried Rice

• 2 servings of cooked rice, refrigerated for at least 2 hours
• 150 gram of smoked ham, cut small. Trim the fat for oil.
• 1 egg, beaten
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoon of oil - Alternatively, use the fat from smoked ham
• a pinch of pepper, to taste
• 2 stalks choy sum, cut to an inch (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat oil (or smoked ham fat) in a wok and stir fry garlic until fragrant.
2. Add egg, wait until it’s slightly cooked and scramble it.
3. Add smoked ham and cooked rice, vigorously flatten them so rice are separated. Use high heat to fry the rice.
