Ginger Egg Fried Rice - Confinement Month # 8


One of the traditional confinement dishes.

I hear, it's the standard "confinement breakfast".

My confinement lady told me, most of her clients will only eat this for breakfast, FOR ONE WHOLE MONTH!!!
I'll die, die not from the ginger's heat, but from boredom.

I only consume this once per week for lunch, not breakfast. It'll be too heavy if this is for breakfast.
Take note that only sesame oil is used here, no cooking oil. If this is for regular consumption, please use cooking oil.



Ginger Fried Rice
Recipe source: Wendyywy

1 cup of cooled cooked rice or rice servings for one
2 Tbsp very thinly julienned ginger
2 Tbsp chopped spring onions
2 Tbsp sesame oil (for non confinement, use regular cooking oil)
1 Free range egg
Salt to taste

*If you like more heat, add more ginger, adjust the ingredients' amount as you like.

1. Heat a wok on medium heat and put in ginger. Toss ginger around until it is no longer moist.
2. Turn heat to high and put in sesame oil. Fry ginger until it is fragrant.
3. Put in rice and toss until rice is hot.
4. Push rice aside and put in egg. Push rice back onto egg and toss until eggs are well scrambled with the rice.
5. Season with salt and continue to fry until rice and eggs are really fragrant.
6. Toss in chopped spring onions and dish up to serve.

  8. Sonia,
    Mother ma, nvm loo, let her save some work. kekeke.


    Small kucing,
    yawoh, very heaty


    Puan Ros,
    Bila bila pun boleh makan, tapi jangan selalu, minyak bijan tu panas.


    Esther,
    Then you really very seldom eat this then, 90 days and 270 meals and only less than 4 times.


    Elin,
    She cooked this, but the instructions are purely based on the way I do it, kekeke,.
    I used Taj Mahal Ponni rice for this fried rice, as it's more "separable" and fluffy


    Hann,
    I kentut tak henti henti la.


    nileey,
    You can eat this on normal days, but it's a very common confinement breakfast.

  13. hi dear Wendy,
    do you know where can I find cast iron wok in Malaysia? is there any local place for it? considering I am foreign student and don't know any place except shopping malls and china town ;)

  14. Really? This is standard confinement dish? I am surpised. I thought confinement should be eating soupy things. This looks good, though. I don't mind eating this at all.

  18. Jeannie,
    Haha, why eat only the same few dishes?


    Belly Good,
    Yup yup


    Charmaine,
    LOL, there are a lot of people like you


    Sandy,
    Try this next time


    amantino,
    Malaysia is not small but yet quite big. I have no idea where you are. Just head to any crockery shop, those that sell pots and pans and plastic ware. Head to PJ old town if you are around there. Lots of such shops in that area.


    Shirley,
    Well, here it is a "standard" confinement dish. Maybe in the Cantonese community. But my confinement lady works all over Malaysia and she told me a lot of her clients eat this everyday. Even my aunt cooks this for me each time she visits me right after delivery. We drink lots of soups too, but this is usually for breakfast. I'm not sure about the practices in Singapore.



    lena?
    Mooncakes? Scary. Maybe last year's leftovers, LOL.
    Usually restaurants add in a lot of "sifu", and definately nicer than homecooked ones, haha.


    Min,
    sure!


    yummylittlecooks,
    Yeah, the finer the ginger, the nicer it tastes.
    With some kailan is a good idea.

    ReplyDelete
  24. anonymous,
    I wish someone would teach me to make it printer friendly.
    I don't know how, yet.

  25. anonymous,
    anyway, you can just copy and paste the recipe to a word processor like MS Word or Notepad and print out which ever part you like
