Cantonese-style Fried Rice

Servings: 3-5
Prep time: about 20 min

*2 or 3 eggs
*2 tsp salt
*1/2 tsp dry sherry
*2 tbsp onion, minced
*5 tbsp cooking oil
*4 cups cooked rice
*1 tsp Chinese brown gravy syrup or 1/2 tsp Kitchen Boquet or Gravy Master
*1 cup bean sprouts or the shredded thick part of lettuce as a substitute

1. Beat eggs with salt & sherry.
2. Heat oil in wok over medium-high heat. Stir in onion then egg mixture. Scramble and break into pieces until quite dry.
3. Add rice, gravy & bean sprouts. Stir constantly until the ingredients are well blended & thoroughly heated (about 8 to 10 minutes).

Note: 1/2 cup of diced or shredded meat or fake meat can be added with rice, if you want.

Note: Never use soy sauce because it makes the rice too soft.

Note: Fried rice is the way Chinese use leftover rice, so its fine to use day-old rice for this recipe.
