About Cantonese fried rice

Tony Tan’s Cantonese fried rice combines chicken, salted fish and bean sprouts. Gourmet Traveller calls it a comfort-food classic, and Tan connects the dish with his mother’s cooking before presenting this Golden Leaf Restaurant rendition.

Crisped salted fish gives the rice its concentrated savoury flavour. Egg, chicken and light soy sauce add richness, while sliced green onions and bean sprouts bring a fresh contrast to the fried grains.

The ingredients are tossed together in a hot wok, with the rice grains separated as they cook. The finished dish combines small pieces of chicken and fish with the rice and vegetables.
