Until one day.. I see Master Chef Australia where Gary actually teach how to cook Gary’s Fried Rice

One of my favourite dish is Fried Rice. I tried to cook fried rice several times (in my way) and it doesn’t really live to what I expected, eventhough it suppose to be easy.

Until one day.. I see Master Chef Australia and Gary teach me how to cook the best fried rice ever cooked (by me)..

Some ingredient isn’t really used in normal Asian Fried Rice such as tempeh or dashi powder but the rest.. it just create a delicious fried rice.

Here is the recipe..

100g lup cheong (Chinese-style sausage), diced
100g tempeh, diced
1/2 bunch chinese broccoli, chopped
1/2 small bunch mustard greens, chopped
1 red chilli, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp dashi powder

Method

1. Combine rice, water, pinch salt and 1 tsp oil in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 6 minutes. Remove from the heat, set aside without removing the lid for 10 minutes to complete the cooking. Spread the rice onto a tray, cover and refrigerate overnight.

2. For the pickled ginger, combine the sugar and vinegar in a saucepan. Add ginger and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Then set aside to cool.

3. Heat wok until hot. Add oil, half the ginger, half the garlic and egg and stir until cooked. Transfer to a plate. Wipe the wok clean then add a little more oil with remaining ginger and garlic. Add lup cheong and cook until oil has rendered from sausage. Add tempeh and stir-fry until well coated. Add chinese broccoli, mustard greens and rice, cook over medium heat until warmed through. Add chilli and return egg and sprinkle over the dash. Add soy, spring onions and bean sprouts and remove from the heat. Stir through coriander leaves, deep fried shallots and fried garlic.

4. Flash the banana leave over gas flame for a few seconds and place onto serving plate. Spoon over the rice, top with few pieces of pickled ginger, fried shallots, garlic and coriander, serve with lime.

Have fun cooking!
