When it comes to comfort food that you can fall back on time again, nothing beats a plate of good old fried rice. It’s quick, it’s effortless, and most of the time you can easily find the ingredients needed in your pantry and fridge.

Fried rice is one of those versatile dishes that you can add on anything you’d like to it but can never go wrong. And with that said, eggs is naturally one of my most go-to staples to incorporate.

Pattaya Fried Rice

I was inspired to prepare my eggs for this dish from nasi goreng Pattaya (Pattaya fried rice), which is super popular back in Malaysia. The fried rice is folded into an omelette wrap, then is usually drizzled with chili sauce on top.

Instead of chili sauce, I used Sriracha and added a bit of Japanese mayo–a surprisingly tasty combo! So it’s almost like an egg burrito if you think about it. I personally love this style since it gives me that perfect ratio of egg-to-fried rice with every bite. 😉

This particular recipe might take a bit more time to assemble, but I promise that it’s worth it.

Ingredients You’ll Need 

Egg Fried Rice

  • Green onion
  • Garlic
  • Frozen mixed vegetables
  • Egg
  • Cooked cold rice
  • Light soy sauce
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • White pepper
  • Sesame oil
  • Chili oil (optional)

Omelette Wrap

  • Eggs
  • Corn starch
  • Pepper

Others

  • Sriracha
  • Japanese Mayo

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized pan/wok over medium heat, heat up some cooking oil and sauté the green onions and garlic for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Push aside and break an egg directly into the pan and scramble. Once the egg is cooked, stir everything together.
  4. Add rice and break up any clumps/separate the rice with your spatula.
  5. Season with light soy sauce, sugar, salt and white pepper. Stir together until well combined.
  6. Drizzle in the sesame oil and chili oil. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Omelette Wrap

  1. Break eggs into a bowl and whisk it.
  2. Season with salt and pepper and add corn starch. Whisk until there are no corn starch clumps.
  3. Heat up some cooking oil in a large sized pan over medium low heat.
  4. Pour in half the egg mixture and swirl it around the pan.
  5. Increase the heat to medium and let it cook for 2 minutes or until the egg is cooked. Turn off the heat.

Folding

  1. Fill a small bowl with half of the fried rice, making sure to really pack it tightly into the bowl.
  2. Flip the bowl to the center of the omelette wrap and tap the bottom a few times before lifting the bowl gently.
  3. Lift one side of the omelette and fold it towards the middle. Do the same with the opposite side. Push down the folded side gently so the egg doesn’t fold back down.
  4. Fold the remaining sides towards the center.
  5. Place a plate on the pan and flip it.
  6. Squeeze chili sauce/Sriracha and a bit of mayo all over the omelette. Garnish with green onions and enjoy!

Notes for Egg Fried Rice

  • Use cold rice: Cold rice is best for any fried rice recipe. If you don’t have cold/leftover rice, you can cook rice beforehand and let it cool uncovered in the freezer for 15-30 minutes. The rice should not be hot or warm before frying. Otherwise, your fried rice will be mushy.
  • Bowl size: The small bowl I used has a 10-13 cm diameter, similar to the bowls they use to serve rice at Chinese restaurants.
  • Large pan: is best for the omelette wrap otherwise it will be hard to wrap the fried rice.
  • Folding: If it’s hard to fold using a spatula, fold with clean hands or gloved hands.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
