If the egg didn't fry the rice then who did? 🤔

[-] PositiveNoise@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago

That is exactly the sort of thing an egg that had recently gain sentience and then went on to fry some rice would say. Suspicious? Yes.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 days ago

Looks good. I tend to break up the rice more, and add soy sauce for color and flavor.

If I'm feeling fancy, shallots and white pepper add so much. (As does msg)

Add some curry powder and bean sprouts and you’re halfway to Singapore noodles

the egg didn't fry the rice? why'd you fire egg, OP?

hows he gonna get a job now?

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago

They will just have to grow up and make chicken fried rice.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Bold of you to assume the egg wasn't from a goose, and wouldn't therefore produce value when it grows up.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

I'm sure goose fried rice is on a menu somewhere

Bad fried rice. No crunchy bits, clumpy rice, uneven sauce distribution. 3.5/10

[-] Niquarl@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah clumpy is annoying need to break it up with a fork before putting it in the pan

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's bad, but yeah, the clumpy rice made me tick. Maybe that's how they do it in the Jiangnan region?

[-] stardreamer 2 points 1 day ago

But there's no sauce though? It's just rice, scallions, and eggs, as they do in the Jiangnan region.

[-] rttw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

No seasonings? That must be oily and bland

[-] stardreamer 1 points 1 day ago

There is salt and white pepper, but that's just standard for every dish. And the scallions and eggs impart flavor.

Most Su-style dishes are subtle on flavors. I never understood the need for American Chinese food using so much sauce/spices as a sledgehammer.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I sometimes make simple fried rice like this too and it's great! But do you not put any seasoning?

[-] stardreamer 2 points 1 day ago

I mean, just salt and white pepper. But that's standard across any dish.

[-] spectrums_coherence@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh my, no MSG?? Hayaaa!
