Instructions
- 1
Wash 200ml of short-grain rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.
- 2
Add 200ml of water and 0.5 tsp of white vinegar to the washed rice. Stir gently.
- 3
Steam the rice for approximately 30-40 minutes over medium heat until fully cooked. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a spoon and spread it out on a plate or tray to cool completely and dry slightly. Chilled rice works best for fried rice.

Portion out 100g of the cooled, cooked rice into a bowl for one serving of fried rice.

Chop 10g of scallions into small pieces.
- 6
Beat 3 large eggs in a separate bowl until well combined.

Add about half of the beaten egg mixture (approximately 1.5 eggs worth) to the 100g cooked rice. Wearing a glove, gently mix the egg into the rice by hand until each grain is coated.

Heat a wok over high heat until it is smoking. Add 1 tbsp of pork lard and let it melt and heat up.

Reduce the heat to low. Pour the remaining beaten egg (approximately 1.5 eggs worth) into the wok. Scramble quickly with a ladle until just set and crumbly, ensuring it doesn't brown.

Increase the heat to high. Add the egg-coated rice to the wok. Stir-fry vigorously, tossing constantly, to dry out the rice and separate the grains. Continue for about 1 minute until the rice is golden and fluffy.
