If you come across the website, claiming Japanese-language reporter Go Hatori duped a phisher into providing “the best of the best” fried rice recipe, and test the recipe, you probably won’t be delighted.
I made this today (2023 April 5), with all the ingredients at the listed amounts, but I didn’t notice the cucumber had not been peeled until after the cook.
My wife was expecting fried rice with soy sauce and oyster sauce. She said this version was bland.
250mg ham seems like a lot but it wasn’t.
As for me, it’s not the best fried rice that I have had but it’s certainly edible 🙂
Be forewarned.
Here is the recipe, gleaned from the website:
Ingredients
250g Cooked rice (1 large bowl)
1/2 tsp vinegar (makes rice sticky – do you want it? Prob not)
250g Ham (3 slices) (bacon?)
Egg (1)
Cucumber (25g)
Green peas (20 grams [0.7 ounces])
Green onions (5 grams [0.2 ounces])
Shrimp (2 large ones)
Sea Salt (1 teaspoon)
Ajinomoto MSG (about 1/2 teaspoon)
Cooking oil (30g)
Recipe:
Step 1: Cut the cucumber, shrimp, and ham into small pieces.
Step 2: Pour a generous amount of cooking oil into the wok/frying pan and heat the pan. Add the egg and cook until about soft-boiled consistency. Remove the egg and chop it up (see step 5)
Step 3: Wash out the pan (if you don’t have a spare), then re-add oil and heat the pan again. Add peas, shrimp, and ham and stir fry them.
Step 4: As soon as you notice the green peas starting to brown, add the rice. Press the rice lightly into the pan as it starts to cook.
Step 5: Once the rice is heated, add in the egg, green onion, cucumber, and salt and MSG, then stir fry it all together,
Step 6: Give the pan periodic shakes to release the steam and prevent everything from getting too soggy.
Step 7: Once the contents are looking like the picture below, it’s ready to eat!
