Soy sauce fried rice

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals Side Dishes
This is the Asian 'student dinner' in luxury format. The simplest, zero-waste dish that appears in households from China to Japan if there's a bowl of leftover rice. The secret is the caramelisation of soy sauce: when the salty liquid hits the hot pan, its sugar content and amino acids react (Maillard reaction), creating that characteristic, roasted, deep flavour that makes it addictive. Its greatness lies in its simplicity.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Sesame seeds
⚠️ Cereals containing gluten

Instructions

1 ✓

Slice the spring onion (white and green parts separate), and crush the garlic.

Tip: The white part is stronger, it needs frying; the green is for garnish.
2 ✓

Heat the vegetable oil in the pan. Toss in garlic and onion white, fry for half a minute.

Tip: Aromatic oil lays the foundation of the dish's flavour.
3 ✓

Add the cold rice. Break up clumps, and fry for 2-3 minutes until rice heats through.

Tip: Leave the rice alone for a few seconds sometimes to brown the bottom.
4 ✓

Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss quickly to coat evenly.

Tip: Soy sauce thickens slightly in the hot pan and sticks to grains.
5 ✓

Sprinkle with pepper and sesame seeds. Serve topped with onion greens.

Tip: Pepper (especially white pepper) is a classic addition to fried rice.

Recipe FAQ

Why is my rice sticky?
Because you used fresh, warm rice. Use cold, day-old rice!
