## How to Cook Cantonese Fried Rice

1. Prepare your ingredients
   Before you dive into the actual cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will save you precious time and ensure a smooth cooking process.

2. Cook the proteins
   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until it turns golden brown and is cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.

Next, cook the shrimp in the same wok until they turn pink and opaque. Transfer the cooked shrimp to the plate with the chicken.

3. Cook the egg
   In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and pour in the beaten eggs. Cook the eggs, stirring constantly, until they form soft curds. Transfer the cooked eggs to a separate plate.

4. Sauté the aromatics
   Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the wok and add the onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions turn translucent and fragrant.

5. Stir-fry the rice
   Add the cooked and chilled rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice until it's heated through and well combined with the onions and garlic.

6. Combine the flavors
   Add the cooked chicken, shrimp, Chinese sausage, peas, and bean sprouts to the wok. Stir-fry everything together, allowing the flavors to meld.

7. Season the dish
   Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine over the rice mixture. Sprinkle with white pepper and toss everything together to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

8. Finish and garnish
   Lastly, stir in the cooked egg, green onions, and sesame oil. Give everything a final stir to combine and serve immediately.

## Ingredient Substitutes

Can't find some ingredients or looking to tweak the recipe? No problem! Here are some handy substitutes and tips to make the dish uniquely yours.

- If you can't find Chinese sausage (Lap Cheong), substitute it with diced ham, bacon, or even sliced chorizo.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken, shrimp, and Chinese sausage with tofu or your favorite mix of vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, and carrots.
- Don't have Shaoxing wine? You can use dry sherry or even mirin as an alternative.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more or less soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper.

## Tips for the Perfect Cantonese Fried Rice

- Use chilled, day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice can be mushy and clump together when stir-frying.
- Cook your ingredients separately, then combine them at the end. This ensures that everything is cooked perfectly and the flavors meld together harmoniously.
- Feel free to adjust the heat according to your preference. You can add a dash of hot sauce, chili oil, or even some chopped fresh chilies for an extra kick.

Yes, you can. Allow the fried rice to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the fried rice in the refrigerator and reheat it in a wok or skillet, adding a splash of water to prevent it from drying out.

### How can I make this dish gluten-free?

To make a gluten-free Cantonese Fried Rice, simply use gluten-free soy sauce and ensure that your oyster sauce is also gluten-free.

## What is Gochujang?

Gochujang is a savory, spicy, and slightly sweet fermented chili paste that is a staple in Korean cuisine.

It is made from red chili peppers, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, and salt.

Gochujang has been a part of Korean cuisine for over 1,000 years and is a beloved ingredient in many traditional Korean dishes.

## The Health Benefits of Gochujang

Not only is gochujang delicious, but it also has numerous health benefits. Gochujang is high in capsaicin, a compound that is known to boost metabolism and aid in weight loss. It also contains antioxidants, which can help protect the body against free radicals and reduce inflammation.

## Incorporating Gochujang into Your Diet

Gochujang can be used in a variety of ways to add flavor and spice to your meals. It can be used as a marinade for meats, a dipping sauce for vegetables, or even mixed into your morning eggs. One of the most popular ways to use gochujang is in Korean dishes like bibimbap, tteokbokki, and bulgogi.

## Creamy Gochujang Pasta without Cream

As a substitute for cream, we are using the pasta water to make the pasta creamy. The starch in the pasta water will naturally make the sauce creamy without the use of cream. Sometimes we just prefer dishes without cream.

## Ingredients

- 250g pasta
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 60g onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp gochujang paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- green onions, optional garnish
- sesame seeds, optional garnish

## Let's Get Cooking!

Time to get the ball rolling! Follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the pasta
   Prepare the pasta according to the package instructions. Keep an eye on the clock to ensure perfect al dente noodles.

2. Sauté the veggies
   While the pasta is bubbling away, heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onions until they release their mouthwatering aroma.

3. Add the magic
   Now it's time for the star ingredient: gochujang paste! Stir in the gochujang paste, soy sauce, and honey (or agave syrup). Mix well until everything is combined.

4. Bring it together
   Once your pasta is cooked, drain it, and add it to the pan with your sauce. Toss everything together to ensure each noodle is coated in that creamy, spicy goodness.

5. Make it creamy
   Add a touch of pasta water (about 4 tablespoons) to achieve the desired level of creaminess. The starchy water will help bind the sauce to the pasta.

6. Season and garnish
   Taste the dish and season with salt and pepper as needed. For an extra pop of flavor, garnish your masterpiece with green onions and sesame seeds.

## Tips and Tricks

To elevate your Vegan Creamy Korean Gochujang Pasta even further, consider these suggestions:

- Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for a healthier alternative.

## The Story behind Uncle Roger's Egg Fried Rice

In the video, Hersha Patel demonstrates how to cook egg fried rice, while Nigel Ng provides hilarious commentary on the recipe, criticizing Hersha's technique and highlighting the dos and don'ts of cooking egg fried rice.

The video went viral on social media, with people sharing it and commenting on how funny and relatable Uncle Roger's commentary was. The video also sparked a debate on what makes the perfect egg fried rice, with some people agreeing with Uncle Roger's tips and others disagreeing.

## The Dos and Don'ts of Cooking Egg Fried Rice

So, what are Uncle Roger's tips for cooking egg fried rice? Here are some of the dos and don'ts that he highlighted in the video:

### Dos

Use cold, cooked rice: Uncle Roger recommends using rice that has been cooked and left to cool for a few hours or overnight. This makes the rice drier and less sticky, which is important for getting the right texture in egg fried rice.

Use a wok: A wok is the best tool for cooking egg fried rice because it distributes heat evenly and allows you to toss the rice quickly and easily.

Use high heat: Egg fried rice should be cooked at a high heat to get the right texture and flavor. Uncle Roger recommends using a gas stove and turning up the heat to the maximum.

Add soy sauce: Soy sauce is an essential ingredient in egg fried rice, giving it a savory, umami flavor. Uncle Roger recommends adding soy sauce to the wok before adding the rice.

Use MSG: This is Uncle Roger's secret ingredient. In his video, he even suggests to use a specific kind of MSG from Indonesia.

### Dont's

Don't use freshly cooked rice: Freshly cooked rice is too sticky and moist for egg fried rice, which requires drier rice. Uncle Roger describes using freshly cooked rice as a "sin."

Don't add too much oil: Adding too much oil will make the rice greasy and unhealthy. Uncle Roger recommends using just enough oil to coat the wok.

Don't add too much soy sauce: Adding too much soy sauce will make the rice too salty and overpower the other flavors. Uncle Roger recommends adding just enough sauce to lightly coat the rice.

## How to Make Uncle Roger's Egg Fried Rice

Now that you know the dos and don'ts of cooking egg fried rice, here is Uncle Roger's recipe for making it at home:

### Ingredients

- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 1 egg, whisked

- 200g day-old rice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

2. Add the beaten eggs then add stir around.
3. Add the rice, soy sauce and sesame oil and continue stirring.
4. Finally, add the MSG, spring onions and chilli. Toss until combined.
