This is another dish that took shape from our recent trip to Shanghai. I noticed that many restaurants had soy sauce fried rice on their menus (we all know how much Shanghainese people love soy sauce).

You’d think that Shanghai would be the best place to try out this dish, but, unfortunately, during our recent trip there,  this soy sauce loving city did not make this dish right. It had zero personality and no depth of flavor! Troubling.

This got me thinking. I know that Cantonese Soy Sauce Pan Fried Noodles is one of our most popular recipes––so many of you have made it, loved it and come back for it often. It’s familiar, comforting, and damn, is it yummy!

Gears turned in my head, and I realized that Cantonese Pan Fried Noodles’ Chinese name translates to “Supreme” Soy Sauce Pan Fried Noodles (豉油王炒面). SO. Instead of plain soy sauce fried rice, why not adapt the sauce from the Cantonese Pan Fried Noodle recipe (a proven winner) and make it a Supreme Soy Sauce Fried Rice.

It’s been a while since I posted a fried rice recipe, so I wanted to share a couple of my fried rice making tips today:

How To Make Fried Rice

The key to this recipe is the Supreme Soy Sauce (豉油王) element. Many master chefs have their own secret recipes, but, of course, at the Woks of Life we’re pretty bad at keeping secrets. ;)

The true secret to giving this sauce its depth of flavor is to cook the sauce before applying it to a dish—similar to making a reduction, but without the longer cooking time. I’ll just go ahead and say that I am pretty excited about this sauce.

You can make a double or triple recipe of it and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use it in noodle dishes and stir fries. Heck, you can even drizzle it on top of plain white rice.

Put the fish sauce,  dark soy sauce,  light soy sauce,  Shaoxing wine, sugar, oil, and oyster sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar.

Once the sauce starts to boil, turn off the heat, and it’s done. It’s ready to use for the fried rice, or you can let it cool completely before storing it in an air-tight container. To clarify, the amount of sauce here is just enough for this recipe. If you’re making more, double or triple, as needed.

To your beaten eggs, add 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine and a pinch of salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in your wok over high heat. Quickly scramble the eggs, and transfer to a dish. Set aside.

Now turn the heat down to medium, and add 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Add the cooked rice, stir for a couple of minutes to make sure the rice is heated through.

Stir fry everything until combined. Pause for a taste test to see if additional salt is necessary. Lastly, toss in the chopped scallions, and stir-fry to combine.

Better Than Take Out Fried Rice

Fried Rice has to be one of my all time favorite takeout inspired dishes to make at home. It’s easier to control the saltiness, sweetness and to bump up the veggies when you make it at home! Our family makes this fried rice recipe at least once a week with whatever vegetables we have on hand. It isalways the perfect accompaniment to my take out style dishes. I love servingthis rice with my General Tso’s Chicken and my Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef.

It all starts off with cold day old rice. This is super important! If you are like me and don’t always plan ahead make sure to cook your rice first and allow it time to completely cool in the fridge or freezer. Fried rice is best when it is made with cold rice. You can even cook the rice the night before. The longer the rice sits the better it tastes!

Next, I add in lots of veggies! For flavor I add soy sauce and oyster sauce. I also like to add Sriracha for a little kick. This recipe is a great way to work in any leftovers. You can substitute any vegetables you have on hand. You can also toss in chicken, bacon, pancetta or try my Shrimp Fried Rice or Beef Fried Rice Recipe.

Easy Fried Rice Recipe

Long grain rice has less starch which makes it the perfect choice for fried rice. Using a long grain rice like jasmine rice will result is soft and fluffy rice every time! Other rice varieties like short grain sushi rice would not work for fried rice. It would make the fried rice clumpy and almost gummy in texture. Not what were looking for!

! Cooking fried rice in the air fryer is super easy! Simply add all of the ingredients to the air fryer and cook until warmed through. Find the full step by step instructions in my Air Fryer Fried Rice Recipe

Have you watched them cook fried rice at a hibachi restaurant? They always use butter and it is so good! After I saw them make it with butter I always make my fried rice at home with butter instead of oil. I love the flavor and richness that the butter adds to the dish. It also helps the rice and veggies brown up perfectly!

Authentic Thai Fried Rice Recipe (ข้าวผัด)

When rice is just cooked and still warm it clumps together. However when you use cold day old rice the rice dries out a bit and the clumps can be easily broken apart. This ensures each kernel of rice actually gets “fried” when your stir frying resulting in a less mussy fried rice!

If you can’t find oyster sauce or simply don’t have it in your pantry you can substitute hoisin sauce or try and make your own oyster sauce. Here is a great recipe for diy oyster sauce!
