Fried Rice Seasoning Basics
Soy Sauce: A staple in Asian cuisine, soy sauce adds savory umami flavor to fried rice. Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
Oyster Sauce: This thick, rich sauce contributes depth and sweetness. A little goes a long way, so drizzle it judiciously.
Sesame Oil: Just a teaspoon of sesame oil imparts a nutty aroma and enhances the overall taste.
Salt and Pepper: Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Garlic and Ginger: Freshly minced garlic and ginger add aromatic warmth. Sauté them in oil before adding other ingredients.
Green Onions (Scallions): These provide a mild onion flavor and a pop of color. Slice them thinly and sprinkle over the finished dish.
