Golden Fried Rice

Golden Fried Rice (huángjīn chǎofàn - 黄金炒饭) gets its name from the fact that you coat the rice in egg yolks before stir-frying.

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, add the cooked white rice, egg yolks, salt, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, sesame oil, and turmeric (if using). Mix until every grain of rice is well-coated. There should be no lumps or chunks of rice.
  2. Preheat a wok over high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the oil, and swirl it around the perimeter of the wok.
  3. Add the rice, and stir-fry continuously for 1-2 minutes.  Add the vegetables, and continue stir-frying. Once the rice grains are dry and start to pop around in the wok, taste and add an additional pinch of salt if needed. (A pinch of extra salt really brings out the flavor of this golden fried rice.) Stir in the scallions, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If making more than 2 servings, cook in separate batches for best results. 
  • If making this recipe gluten-free, be sure to use a gluten-free cooking sherry instead of Shaoxing wine, which can contain trace amounts of wheat.
