i made stir fry and egg fried rice tonight


the egg fried rice was nice enough but it didn't taste like it does when you buy it from the chinese i just wondered if anyone was an expert in cooking this stuff ... i really love egg fried rice and i've wanted to cook it for ages ... it was nice tonight but i just wondered if i could improve it or if theres any speical tips i should try :)
 
What spices and ingredients did you use? I use celery, celery spice and water chestnuts. I believe the celery makes a difference - but technique does also (which I never get right).

Remember also, that while there are many varieties of rices with different flavors, rice in general is fairly bland (it is also one of the most hypo-allergenic foods out there, which is why people with food allergies, like me, often turn to rice), so it doesn't hurt to spice it up a little. Rice does soak up oils and spices so spice to taste (I like enough spice to leave my mouth tingly, but I also like to be able to taste the food, not just burn my tongue).

Also, rice can be cooked to varying degrees ranging from barely cooked to overcooked, and the more you cook it the less flavor it has. I almost invariably overcook my rice, but then I spice it up quite a bit too.

All this talk of rice is making me hungry! :p
 
hey it me again.

You should mail me. Bengalis are the best cooks in the world. Ask anyone. 95% UK indian restaurants are bengali. Pakis too admit we are best. pakis have bengali cooks. Indians are crap.

So are cheena. You didnt know this...but we bengalis cook egg fried rice too but it is of higher standard than Chinese!!!!

I am one of the best cooks! I can tell u how to cook it. It was a necessity to cook at first, then it became a hobby and now i a m a master. i am better than my mom. She is regarded as one of the best cooks by her piers.

My bro cant eat at his restaurant cuz it sux in comparison toher cooking! he has been used to finer dining, and i of course am better than my mom.

but cooking is boring,,,,:(

i will help u though

contact me atikayu@yahoo.co.uk

also. remember we both live in east anglia so if u wantto meet, i could give u a sample of my cooking!!!!
 
p.s. if u are interested u should bring a chaperone cux its against my religion to meet up withppl of the opposite sex and engage in free mixing.
 
It depends on how you want your rice, fancy or simple.

The easiest recipe I have is:

Chop up a clove or two of garlic (fairly fine)
A little Dark soy (or one that you like)
A little Oyster Sauce
Sesame Seed oil
Sugar
Pepper
Eggs
Normal corn oil or what ever you use
Day old rice right out of the fridge

Lightly brown the garlic with both oils then add your eggs. Give them a bit of a stir to break the yolk then add a bit of pepper and a tsp of sugar per egg. When the eggs are nearly done add the soy and oyster sauce. Then add your rice and dash more soy, oyster sauce and a sprinkle more sesame seed oil and cook until warm or until the rice starts to brown from the heat. That's it. Be careful with the soy and oyster sauce. Both are really salty.

This is the basic recipe I use all the time. You can do different things like cook the rice with chicken stock the day before. That works well. Use half water and half stock with a bit of green onion and let the rice cook like you normally would.

You can also add your peas and carrots and whatever to add some spark to the rice too.

The reason your rice prob doesn't taste the same is that some places use MSG (which you can buy) and they use woks that cook at a high temp which sears the rice a little.

Hope this helps.

Cheena food is not really a match for desi food. You can have it from time to time i suppose but try eating that stuff and youll get sick. its not that good mostly hype and craps.

That's very similar to what I make. Like the poster said, the rice has to be cold and right out of the fridge. I started using jasmine rice like they do in Chinese Restaurants instead of plain old regular. It smells wonderful and has a nutty taste. It's a regular item at a grocery store now
 
I agree

I have an incredible recipe book for Asian food and my first attempts at fried rice tasted right but weren't the right consistency because I used freshly cooked rice. Don't do that. Cook your rice the day before.

Listen to Miles. He's telling it to you straight.
 
damn idiot.

whjaat does miles know about cooking?
he is not bengali, and that says it all.
 
anybody knows about cooking with old rice. doesnt make miles a genious/. rather makes him stupid for mentioning it sinx its so obvious.

se*i girl just e-mail me ok

ill give u anything u want.

i am good thats why. forget about miles or anyone else for that matter. o know what i am talking about ok
 
thanks to everyone who posted on this thread sorry i went off lit for a bit but i really appreciate all the posts in this thread

im going to try blind in the dark's recipe because she's given me a recipe that even i shouldn't be able to mess up :)


but all of your tips will help im sure also ... i didn't know about using old rice so thanks for that miles and everyone

i appreciate your posts too yayati i do like indian food as well and my dad used to do some nice indian recipes
 
I use teriyaki marinade sauce, since I'm not a big fan of soy sauce.

Carrots, peas, mushrooms, and lots of butter so the rice doesn't burn or stick to the pan.

Use a HOT cast-iron pan if you don't have a wok.

Flip things into the air a lot. That's the way those guys at the cook-at-your-table places always do it.

I've never heard the pre-refrigerated rice thing. I'll have to remember that.
