Buying advice
1) Cook eggs in a bag at 149°F for 30 minutes until just set (like soft scrambled). 2) Fry rice in a hot wok with garlic, peas, carrot, and soy. 3) Fold in the soft egg curd at the end, off heat. 4) Finish with scallions and sesame oil.
FAQ
What temperature for the eggs?
149°F (65°C) for 30 minutes — soft, silky curd.
Why fold eggs in at the end?
The wok heat would overcook them; folding in keeps them creamy.
What rice is best?
Day-old, cold rice — it fries dry and separates.
