Cantonese fried rice


Ingredients

  • 750ml (3 cups) water
  • 440g (2 cups) medium-grain rice
  • Peanut oil, to grease
  • 2 tbs peanut oil, extra
  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 60g (1/2 cup) leg ham off the bone, chopped
  • 2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
  • 3 shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 150g (1 cup) frozen peas, thawed
  • 250g small peeled cooked prawns
  • 1 tbs Maggi Liquid Seasoning
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • Pinch of white pepper
  • Method

    1. Bring the water to the boil in a large saucepan. Add the rice and return to the boil. Reduce heat to very low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Set aside, covered, for 10 minutes to stand.
    2. Lightly brush a baking tray with oil to grease. Spread the rice over the tray and set aside to cool. Place in the fridge, uncovered, for 6 hours or overnight to cool completely.
    3. Heat 1 tablespoon of the extra oil in a large deep frying pan or wok. Add the egg and swirl slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until just set. Use a wooden spoon to stir and break up the egg. Transfer to a plate.
    4. Wipe the pan clean. Heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the ham, ginger and shallot, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the rice, peas and prawns, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Stir in egg, seasoning and sesame oil. Season with salt and white pepper. Stir-fry for a further 2 minutes or until heated through.
    5. Transfer the fried rice to a serving dish to serve.
