You may have guessed that I love Asian food and particularly fried rice. This one is a cracker.
Ingredients
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
2-3 eggs, lightly whisked
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small onion, diced
200g peeled and deveined prawns
200g Chinese ‘Char Siu’ BBQ Pork diced
2 cups cooked rice
¼ cup finely sliced spring onion
Seasoning sauce:
¼ cup ^XO Sauce
1-2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp Chinese Shaoxing cooking wine
1 tsp dark soy sauce
Method
* For the sauce, combine the ingredients and set aside for later.
* Make an omelette by heating 1Tbsp of the oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and swirl around until almost set. Then flip the omelette over and cook for another minute. Transfer to a chopping board and cut into chunks.
* Heat the remaining oil in the pan over high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 2 min or until the onion has softened. ^Add the prawns and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until just cooked. Then toss through the Chinese BBQ Pork. Add in the seasoning sauce and stir-fry for another minute.
Add the rice and the chopped omelette and stir-fry until the rice grains are evenly coated in the sauce. Toss through the spring onion. Serve with extra XO sauce on the side.
Chook’s note: I didn’t have BBQed pork but used pork mince with a sprinkle of Chinese Five Spice. ^If you are using pork mince then fry it before the prawns. It tasted delicious..
The original recipe called for 4 eggs but I use only 2 because I buy large ones.
^ You can find XO sauce in most Asian supermarkets. Check the label as there are a few different ones. I use a mushroom-based sauce which is good for vegetarians. You will also fine garlic and spicy ones. Our preference in the garlicy one as the other is quite hot. Or you can make your own, it’s a very versatile spicy sauce and easy to make. https://thepingingchook.blogspot.com/2019/07/xo-mushroom-sauce-got-lots-of-mushrooms.html
