About this recipe

Fried rice with scrambled egg, that is a piece of my childhood for me. My grandma often made that when there was rice left over from lunch. She always said it was a "poor man's food", but I always found it delicious. Her secret, I think, was the fresh lemon and thyme from her garden. The recipe here is a tribute to her version, only adapted for the Thermomix®. The cooked rice is of course the base. Rice that has already cooled down a bit and is slightly dry is best. Fresh, sticky rice can quickly become mushy in the Thermomix®. The eggs provide the binding and make the dish juicy. The lemon brings a wonderful freshness and acidity into play, which brightens the rice and gives it a special touch. Thyme, with its slightly earthy and spicy aroma, harmonizes perfectly with lemon and egg. Salt and pepper are the obligatory flavor enhancers, but if you like it more Asian, you can of course also use soy sauce. The oil is used to fry the rice and give it a slightly crispy texture. When preparing it in the Thermomix®, it is important not to fry the rice for too long, as it can otherwise become dry. The Varoma level is ideal because it guarantees a high temperature without the rice burning. The reverse rotation is crucial to gently mix the rice and prevent it from being crushed. When adding the eggs, it is important not to overfill the Thermomix®, otherwise the eggs will not set evenly. It is better to work in two portions if necessary. There are many variations! If you like it vegetarian, you can add vegetables such as peppers, peas, carrots or corn. Mushrooms also go perfectly. For a vegan version, you can replace the eggs with tofu, which is cut into small cubes and fried beforehand. Instead of thyme, you can also use other herbs such as parsley, chives or coriander. If you like it spicier, you can add chili or curry powder. Fried rice with scrambled egg is a dish that tastes good both warm and cold. Served warm, it goes well as a side dish to meat or fish. Cold, it is ideal for a picnic or as a lunch on the go. You can also serve it with a fresh salad or a yogurt dip. Leftovers of the fried rice with scrambled egg can be easily stored in the refrigerator. The next day it tastes almost even better, as the flavors have then fully developed. You can either eat it cold or heat it up in the microwave or pan. For preparation, you can cook the rice the day before and let it cool down. You can also prepare the whisking of the eggs. This makes the preparation even faster the next day.
