'Survival Cooking' Egg Fried Rice Recipe Completed with 3 Eggs and Butter for a College Student Son

A video has been released capturing the process of teaching "survival cooking" that can be easily made at home for a college student child who is not accustomed to cooking. According to a video from the YouTube channel 'My Mom TV', the presenter demonstrated step-by-step how to make egg fried rice, the son's favorite menu, for the son who says he usually cannot cook well.

Basic steps made with 3 eggs and butter

The start of the cooking is ingredient preparation and heating the pan. In the video, the presenter prepared 3 eggs based on a single serving for one person. First, an appropriate amount of cooking oil is poured into the pan, and the eggs are cracked in. At this time, the process of breaking the egg yolks to make them into a scrambled form is carried out. The presenter showed checking the temperature of the pan by putting their hand inside the pan to gauge the heat.

Once the eggs are somewhat cooked, butter is added. The presenter mentioned that it is good to add the butter first to coat the rice grains, and explained that methods such as adding soy sauce after the butter melts or adding soy sauce first can vary depending on personal preference. The video showed the process of adding the butter first to impart flavor. At this time, it was advised that a thickness of about 5mm for the butter is appropriate.

Timing of adding rice and seasoning know-how

One of the important techniques that determines the taste of egg fried rice is the timing of adding the rice. The presenter advised that the pre-prepared rice should be added when the eggs are about 80% cooked. The amount of rice can be adjusted according to preference, and if there is no freshly cooked rice, using Hetbahn or similar products is fine.

After adding the rice, add butter and soy sauce and mix well. The soy sauce must be mixed evenly until the color of the rice turns brown, and care must be taken so that the soy sauce does not clump. The presenter mentioned that it is more delicious to stir-fry the soy sauce as if slightly burning it using the heat of the pan, but in this process, a basic method of adding soy sauce and mixing immediately was chosen for the son, who is a beginner. Finally, finish by sprinkling sesame oil, sesame seeds, and salt to taste. Do not sprinkle the salt in only one place, but sprinkle it evenly throughout to season.

Ingredient combinations and application methods

Egg fried rice is a menu that can be varied by adding various ingredients in addition to the basic ingredients. While only eggs were used as a basic in the video, the presenter mentioned that in the future, oyster sauce, chicken fat, etc., can be used in addition to soy sauce or sesame oil. Also, if chicken or shrimp is stir-fried and added together, it becomes a more abundant dish. The son expressed satisfaction with the completed dish, saying, "The egg, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sesame salt are dancing in my mouth."

The presenter stated that the purpose of this cooking is to help the child not rely only on delivery food or eating out, but to solve simple meals by themselves at home. The son also expressed his ambition to challenge making omurice, which is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside so that the contents flow out when split, as the next step.
