Introduction
A Din Tai Fung-style pure egg fried rice, seasoned simply with salt to highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients. The rice is distinct and grains are glistening, paired with sweet, snappy tiger shrimp and rich egg aroma; humble yet incredibly fragrant.
Step 1
Combine the tiger shrimp with rice wine, smashed green onion sections, and salt. Add an appropriate amount of water and massage/wash the shrimp. Once impurities are cleaned, drain and pat completely dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Finely chop the remaining green onions and set aside.
Step 3
Heat the wok and add oil. Flash-fry the dried shrimp until they change color and are cooked through. Quickly remove them from the wok before they darken to keep them tender, and drain excess oil.
Step 4
Wipe the wok clean with a paper towel and add fresh oil. Beat the egg until the white and yolk are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the hot oil, then immediately add the white rice. Use medium heat to press down and break apart the rice, stir-frying until the egg coats the grains evenly.

Important Notes
💡 Shrimp have a natural slime layer; massaging with onion-infused water, rice wine, and salt removes impurities, resulting in a cleaner, more vibrant color when cooked.
⚠️ To achieve a 'clean' style of fried rice, do not use excessive heat to prevent the rice grains from charring, which would affect both the appearance and the pure flavor profile.
💡 If your rice is sticky, mix the egg yolk with the rice first to create 'golden fried rice'; the yolk helps separate the grains. If leftover rice is too dry, add a tiny splash of water after breaking it up to help the rice rehydrate and soften.
💡 When cooking rice for fried rice, use slightly less water than usual and add a small amount of oil; this makes the finished rice much easier to stir-fry into distinct grains.
