Salted egg fried rice (咸蛋黄炒饭)






Fried rice is a common home dish. Plain white rice is transformed into a flavorful dish with seasoning and thrown with vibrant vegetables by a quick stir-fry. What a beautiful thing!

I'd like to share this umami shrimp-flavored salted egg yolk fried rice with you today. The flavour of the salted egg yolks and the shrimpy taste from sautéing the shrimp head until the shrimp tomalley is beginning to stick to the wok. It’s so good.

The egg is one of the components of this fried rice. It is not the same as regular fried rice, which involves scrambling the egg, breaking it up into little bits, setting it aside, and then adding it back to the rice. Rather, I beat the egg and combine it with the leftover cold rice. Make sure the egg coats each and every grain of rice. As a result, the rice will appear to be golden in hue.


It is best to use cold, leftover rice since the starches in the grains harden when stored in the fridge, making it simpler to separate and cook in the wok. Sometimes I cook the rice the day before so that I can make fried rice for my breakfast the following morning. For ordinary rice, the proportion of rice to water is 1:1. Use rice that has chilled in the refrigerator for at least one night to avoid sticky rice. When stir-fried, freshly cooked rice becomes quite sticky.

Let us get all the ingredients and get started on the delicious umami fried rice.  Do you already feel full? 


INGREDIENTS

3 cups overnight rice

100g shrimps, deveined

1 large, diced onion

3 eggs

3 salted egg yolk, steamed and mashed        

½ red carrots, cut into cube

30g French bean, cut into cube

¼ tsp sugar

½ tsp white pepper

3 tbsp cooking oil

Some sunny side up




METHODS

1. Mashed the salted egg yolks. Broken the leftover rice. Beat the eggs in a bowl.  Pour the beaten egg into the broken leftover rice. Mix it well until all the egg coats each and every grain of rice. 

2. Heat the wok over medium-high heat with the remaining cooking oil from sauté the shrimp heads. Add in the diced onions and sauté it until translucent.   Add in the carrots,  French bean, and shrimps, stir-fried until all the ingredients well  incorporated well with the onion.

3. Add in the mashed salted egg yolk and white, stir fry evenly until the colour turns yellow enough and the yolk becomes creamier and sandier. Add leftover rice and stir constantly until all the rice is coated with salted egg yolk.

4. Seasoning with sugar and white pepper. Taste and adjust with salt, if necessary. Give everything a quick stir before dishing out.

5. Place the fired rice on the plate, top with a sunny side up. Enjoy!!

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour (椰丝球)

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Pandan Coconut Moss Jelly Mooncake

Half a year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. It is fall in October this year. I've tried quite a few of jelly mooncakes last year. So, this year I am going to share some of jelly mooncakes that I love. Making jelly mooncakes isn't difficult, and I'm always eagerly anticipating the finished product, because there are always so many surprises when I cut into it. I got the inspiration from an Indonesian dessert “lumut” pudding. Puding Lumut or “moss pudding is a type of jelly or jelly pudding originating from Indonesia, make with a mixture of agar-agar powder, eggs, coconut milk and sugar which is cooked until it forms a moss like mass. Today I am going to transform it into a mooncake.   Other than the beautiful moss from cooking and stirring the mixture. The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

  Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time.   In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight.   Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob.   Trust me, this method is definitely ...
