Hi all Ozbr's.
What is the best way to make fried rice similar to an Aussie Chinese takeaway restaurant? Admittedly some restaurants are not as good as others.
I purchased some Baccarat Woks as we use an induction cooktop. I have also tried it on the Ziegler BBQ using this attachment.
I've tried both vegetable oil and sesame oil, and heat it up for at least 3 to 5 mins
Rice is cooked, cooled and fluffed. I generally use a Joseph and Joseph Microwave container
I precook the bacon.
I have even used Oyster Sauce (even though I have allergies to shellfish and fish)
I use the basics :-
- Long Grain Rice (and I have used Jasmine)
- Pre-cooked Bacon
- Egg (Even Pre-cooked)
- Spring Onions
- MSG
- Soy Sauce (either light or normal Kikoman)
- Peas
The only thing I can think of is I am not using a good seasoned wok, and/or I need a more intense Gas burner? Is the induction letting me down?
Again, as I mentioned above not all Asian takeaway places have decent fried rice especially the ones in shopping centres, and have it Ready to Go.
you don't need to add all your oil at once. cooking is done in steps, so add a little bit of oil in steps too.
also, always be stirring.
