I tried 2 versions of soy sauce fried rice before – one is from Wok Hey and the other is from a Japanese stall (they sold as omu rice). The one that Wok Hey is selling is called “Shanghai fried rice” but it is pretty much like soy sauce fried rice. I find myself take a liking of such fried rice – plain, simple and has soy sauce taste. It can be a vegetarian fried rice as well, with just having some veg in it. I think the most important ingredient in this dish is the soy sauce used. Initially I thought it will be just plain light soy sauce but it turns out that (after doing some research), the sauce has to be made up of several different sauces!

Preparation & Cooking time: Less than 30 minutes.       Ideal time to cook: Anytime

ingredients.

• Overnight cooked rice
• Eggs, beaten
• Broccoli, cut to florets
• Prawns (optional)
• Fish sauce
• Dark soy sauce
• Light soy sauce
• Shaoxing wine
• sugar
• oyster sauce
• Sesame oil
• Salt to taste

• 

methods.

1. In a small bowl, mix the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, shaoxing wine, fish sauce and sugar. Mix well. I use around 1 tablespoons for all the liquids and 1 teaspoon for the sugar. You can adjust it accordingly to your preference.
2. Blanch the broccoli very briefly. Dish and set aside
3. Heat the wok with oil and quickly scramble the eggs. Set aside. Do the same for the prawn
4. In the same wok, heat some oil. Add the rice, broccoli, prawn, soy sauce mixture and egg. Stir fry everything and taste it. If necessary, add a bit of salt.
5. Dish up and serve..

Mum mum’s notes:
If you like the dish to be vegetarian, you an totally omit the prawn. Alternatively, if you are a meat lover, you can add some chicken cubes and it works as well.
