Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Shred lean pork (loin), massage thoroughly with soy sauce, wine, a pinch of salt, sesame oil, 'egg white', and 'potato starch' to coat (secret to extremely tender meat).
- Heat plenty of oil in a wok, briefly velvet (oil-blanch) the seasoned pork, and remove.
- Reduce oil slightly, pour beaten egg on high heat, and toss in warm white rice (low moisture is best) while the egg is runny.
- Use the back of a ladle to cut and loosen the rice, tossing on high heat until the egg coats every single grain into a golden color.
- Return the pork, season with salt and a little white pepper (use very little or no soy sauce to keep color and aroma clear).
- Finally add minced green scallions, toss briefly to finish.

Trivia
[For Everyone] Unlike Japanese fried rice fried dark with soy sauce, it features a 'Qingdan (light)' taste highlighting the golden color of salt and egg. So simple that it tests the chef's wok skills the most.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Enjoying the delicate saltiness plain is standard, but connoisseurs dab a little 'Xiaolongbao black vinegar sauce' or 'homemade chili oil' to add an accent!
