Ingredients
- 200 g fresh crayfish tails
- 2 large eggs
- 1 bowl cooked leftover rice
- 1 small onion
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 chili pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp seasoning sauce
- 1 tsp dried seaweed strips
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- 1Prepare the crayfish
Place the cleaned crayfish tails in a colander. Peel the meat away from the shells and ensure they are thoroughly drained. Prepping them in advance ensures they sear properly without steaming.
Tip: Ensure the crayfish are thoroughly drained so they sear properly in the wok rather than steaming. - 2Sauté aromatics
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and chopped chili, stir-frying until fragrant. Add the crayfish meat and stir-fry quickly until opaque and cooked through.
Tip: Keep the heat high to lock in the juices of the crayfish. - 3Incorporate vegetables
Add the chopped bell peppers and onions to the wok. Stir-fry briefly until the vegetables are tender-crisp and well-coated with the savory juices.
Tip: Dont overcook the peppers to maintain their vibrant color and crunch. - 4Prepare the fried rice base
Push the crayfish mixture aside or remove temporarily. Crack an egg into the hot, oiled wok, immediately break it up, and fold in the cold leftover rice. Add your seasoning sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Tip: Using cold leftover rice is essential for perfect, non-mushy fried rice. - 5Cook the soft egg layer
In a separate lightly oiled pan, pour in the beaten egg mixture. Cook over very low heat, using a spatula to gently push the eggs into soft, silky folds.
Tip: Keep the heat very low and move slowly to achieve that signature soft, folded consistency. - 6Assemble the final bowl
Place the egg-fried rice in a deep bowl, top with the silky egg layer, and finish by ladling the savory crayfish mixture into the center. Garnish with seaweed strips.
Tip: For the best presentation, use a deep serving bowl and make sure the crayfish mixture is placed right in the center, allowing the colors to pop against the yellow eggs.
