Plausible EFR is actually very easy...
1. Make some boiled rice. My preference is to put 1 cup of basmati rice and 2 cups (exactly) of boiling water in a glass bowl, then microwave covered for 14 minutes on full power. Perfect every time, and ideal for EFR.
2. Fork the rice through, then leave it to cool.
In the mean time,
3. Chop some onions fairly finely, then fry them in a wok until they are transparent and just to say going brown. Set them aside in a bowl until later.
4. Break a couple of eggs into the wok, then stir vigorously until they go omeletty. Stop before they turn into pencil rubbers though. Don't add milk or water, by the way. Add the eggs to the bowl with the onions.
5. Add oil to the wok, get it just smoking hot. Add the rice to the wok a bit at a time, stirring thoroughly to make sure the grains are separated and (very) lightly coated in oil.
6. Keep stir frying the rice until it just starts to clump together -- It's hard to describe, but easy to spot when you've seen it.
7. Add the onion and egg, stir thoroughly and turn off the heat.
8. Add a little salt to taste. You might like to use soy sauce, which is nice IMO bun not actually authentic.
One nice option if you like it is to add some frozen peas when you start stir frying the rice, but this isn't necessary.
This recipe is reasonably authentic, I think. I adapted it slightly from a Ken Hom cookbook -- it seems to get positive comments from people every time, so give it a try sometime. :-) |
