👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the scrambled eggs: Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the lightly beaten eggs. Cook, stirring gently, until just set but still slightly moist. Remove from the pan and set aside. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop the scrambled egg. (Approx. 3 minutes)
⏱️ 3 minutes
2
Stir-fry aromatics and vegetables: Add the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the same wok or skillet over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and the white and light green parts of the spring onions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. (Approx. 5 minutes)
⏱️ 5 minutes
3
Add rice and sauces: Push the vegetables to one side of the wok. Add the cold cooked rice to the empty side. Break up any clumps with your spatula. Drizzle the soy sauce and vinegar over the rice. Add the chopped scrambled eggs. Toss everything together vigorously, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the sauces and mixed with the vegetables and egg. Continue to stir-fry on high heat for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and develop a slightly toasted flavor. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (Approx. 7 minutes)
⏱️ 7 minutes
4
Garnish and serve: Remove the fried rice from the heat. Stir in most of the sliced green spring onion tops. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining spring onion greens. Serve immediately. (Approx. 1 minute)
⏱️ 1 minute

💡 전문가 팁

✓Using day-old, cold rice is crucial for achieving fluffy, separate grains. Freshly cooked rice tends to be sticky and can make the fried rice mushy.
✓High heat is essential for stir-frying. It cooks the ingredients quickly, preventing them from becoming soggy and developing a pleasant 'wok hei' (breath of the wok) flavor.
✓Work quickly once the ingredients are in the wok. Have all your ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking.
✓Adjust the amount of soy sauce and vinegar to your personal preference. You can also add a pinch of sugar for a touch of sweetness.
