Egg Fried Rice With Cucumber Recipes

STIR-FRIED CUCUMBER WITH EGG

Steps:

• Peel cucumbers (either peel off all the skins or leave some skins to create alternating stripes). Slice in half lengthwise and scoop out all the seeds, then cut the cucumbers into thin slices on a bias.
• Place cucumber slices in a bowl and toss with 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside for 20 minutes.
• Beat the eggs and season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
• After 20 minutes, rinse the cucumber slices under running water, drain and spread them on some paper towels to absorb excess water.
• Place a pan over medium heat. Add some olive oil and once the oil is hot, add minced garlic. Sauté garlic for a few seconds until fragrant, then add cucumbers. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until cucumbers are heated through with no raw taste left. Season with a bit more salt to taste if needed.
• Push cucumber slices to one side of the pan. Add beaten eggs to the empty side of the pan. Let the bottom of the eggs set, then stir-fry and toss cucumbers with eggs briefly. This should be done quickly to avoid overcooking the eggs.
• When the eggs are cooked to your liking, transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle freshly cracked pepper on top.

EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Use a fork to fluff up the rice and break it apart. If you're using freshly cooked rice, let it stand on the counter uncovered until it stops steaming before fluffing it. If you decide to refrigerate the rice overnight in advance of preparing this recipe, it will clump up; you can then use your hands to break up the cold rice clumps into individual grains.
• Beat 3 eggs in one bowl. Beat the other 2 eggs in another bowl, along with 2 tablespoons water, the paprika, and the turmeric. Set these two bowls aside.
• Heat a wok over medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the 3 beaten eggs (without the spices), and scramble them. Remove them from the wok and set aside.
• Heat wok over high heat, and add the last tablespoon oil. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the rice and stir-fry for 2 minutes, using a scooping motion to heat the rice uniformly. Use your wok spatula to flatten out and break up any rice clumps. Next, pour the uncooked egg and spice mixture over the rice, and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until all of the rice grains are coated in egg.
• Add the peas and stir fry continuously for another minute. Next spread the salt, sugar, and black pepper over the rice and mix. You should now see some steam coming off the rice, which means it is heated through.
• If the rice looks a little dry, feel free to sprinkle in some water or chicken stock. Adding some liquid directly to any remaining clumps of rice will also help to break them up. Mix in the scrambled eggs and scallions and serve!

EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring water, salt and soy sauce to a boil. Add rice and stir. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet or wok over medium heat. Saute onions and green beans for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in egg and fry for 2 minutes, scrambling egg while it cooks.
• Stir in the cooked rice, mix well and sprinkle with pepper.

EGG-FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Cook the rice following pack instructions, then drain, spread it out to steam-dry and set aside.
• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large wok over a high heat, then add the onion and fry until lightly browned, around 5 mins. Add the rice, stir and toast for about 3 mins, then move to the side of the pan.
• Add the remaining oil, then tip in the egg mixture. Leave to cook a little, then mix in with the rice - stir vigorously to coat the grains or, if you prefer the egg chunkier, allow to set for a little longer before breaking up and stirring through. Tip into a serving bowl and scatter over the spring onion to serve.
