My husband’s colleague asked me for the recipe of Yangzhou fried rice a couple weeks before and here is the recipe. Couple days ago I made the Char Siu Pork and one of the special ingredients for this fried rice is Char Siu Pork. You can find the Char Siu Pork’s recipe in my previous blog.

This fried rice can easily found in the menu of a lot of Chinese takeaways in UK and why don’t you try it by yourself at home? It’s easy to cook and you can adjust the flavour by yourself.

I always like to cook by myself because cooking at home is healthier and more hygienic. You can put more vegetable and use less oil to avoid a unhealthy diet. I’m so surprised by my husband’s good appetite for this fried rice as he was never a big fan of iceberg lettuce.

Ingredients:

(Server for 2~3)

2 bowls of cold rice

50 g char siu pork, cut into small dice

40 g prawn, cut into small dice

2 spring onions, chopped finely

4 medium size eggs, beaten

50 g iceberg lettuce, julienne

Seasonings:

(You can adjust the seasoning by your personal flavour.)

11/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon soy sauce

a little bit of white pepper powder

Procedures:

1.   Heat a wok with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and quickly stir-fry the eggs until medium well done.

2.   Add char siu pork and prawn, stir-fry it with egg and mix it evenly.

3.   Add rice after prawn is cooked and turn the gas power to medium. Make sure the rice is loose and without any chunks.

4.   Add iceberg lettuce, spring onions and seasoning. Keep stir-frying it until iceberg lettuce soft.
