It is National Day today! I must cook something very local! While listening to Dick Lee's "Our Singapore" (theme song for National Day Parade 2015), I was inspired ~ by another song that had risen him to fame in 1991 - "Fried Rice Paradise"....
Simple as it is, Fried Rice will always remain close to my heart. Why? My husband has always been critical about my cooking. He has a hyper sensitive taste bud. I earned my first thumbs-up from him many years ago with this dish!
Since I still have leftover pineapples in my chiller, I will include them in my recipe.
Ingredients (enough for 4 pax) :
- 4 bowls of cooked rice
- 1 pair of chinese sausage 腊肠 (cut to bits)
- 12 mid-mized prawns (season with sesame oil, salt and sugar first, then cut to bits)
- 1 bowl of mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 slice of fresh pineapple (diced)
- 2 beaten eggs
- 3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- 1/2 tsp grounded white pepper
- 4 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- fried silver fish
- a little coriander/cilantro
(tsp = teaspoon; tbsp = tablespoon)
Method :

Toss the half-fried eggs aside and add prawns. Lightly stir fry prawns. |

And finally....the rice and seasonings (1/2 tsp grounded white pepper, 4 tbsp light soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil). Turn up the heat/fire and stir fry all ingredients and seasonings evenly in the pan/wok. |

The pineapple dices will be the last to be added when all's tossed and cooked in the pan/wok. |
