Egg Fried Rice is a type of fried rice mixed with scrambled eggs and sometimes vegetables like green peas, corn and spring onions. It’s a common rice dish served on Chinese restaurants in fact this type of fried rice is the base for most fried rice recipes. Its quick, it’s easy and a delicious alternative to that usual rice you always have.
Sometimes normal steamed rice is just boring especially when you serve it with dishes with no sauce like grilled meats and steamed vegetables, everything will taste bland unless you change your rice to have some flavour but not over the top like those fancy paella or mixed meat and vegetable fried rice. This is where a simple rice like Java rice, sinangag, butter herb rice or this egg fried rice comes into play, they are not plain and have some flavour but because of its simplicity it does not overpower you main dish.
