Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

If using prawns, clean and devein, or if using chicken, dice into small, bite-sized pieces.
Chop all the vegetables to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Set aside.

2. Cook the Prawns or Chicken:

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat.
Add and cook the prawns or chicken until fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes for prawns or 5 minutes for chicken.

3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

Add the sesame seed oil to the wok, followed by the carrots, peas, corn, and half of the spring onions.
Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant in color.

4. Cook the Eggs:

Add the beaten eggs and cook until they’re 60-70% cooked, breaking them up into small pieces with a spatula.

5. Combine the Rice and Ingredients:

Add the chilled rice to the wok, breaking it up with a spatula and tossing it with the ingredients to ensure even distribution.
Pour the sauce mixture over the rice, stirring well to coat each grain with the rich, golden flavor.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through.

7. Garnish and Serve:

Remove from heat and sprinkle the remaining green onions on top for a fresh pop of color.
Serve immediately with Chopstick Heaven personalized chopsticks for an elevated dining experience.

For a complete Golden Clouds feast, serve this fried rice alongside other dishes like Mapo Tofu, Honey Sesame Chicken, or Sweet and Sour Pork. A side of stir-fried greens, such as bok choy or sugar snap peas, adds freshness and complements the flavors beautifully.

Pro Tips

Best Rice for Fried Rice: Day-old, chilled rice is ideal for fried rice, as it’s less sticky and easier to separate. If using freshly cooked rice, spread it out on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.
Customize Your Protein: Feel free to swap out the prawn or chicken with tofu, beef, or any other protein of your choice.
