Fried Rice in Egg Wrap (蛋包火腿炒饭)

Cici named this dish for me! :-) I am trying to consume the leftover honey ham from Easter day as soon as possible. Don't want to waste it. Besides using it for breakfast omelets, tortilla wraps, etc. Here is my honey ham fried rice. I served it with egg wrap so that it will not be too boring for Tom and Cici to have just fried rice.



There is a trick to make an unbroken egg skin. Mix some corn starch with some water, beat together with the eggs. Trust me, it works.

Method to make egg skin (for 3 serving)

1. 5 eggs
2. 1/3 cups milk/water - (this will result a softer egg skin)
3. 1 tsp of corn starch - mix in # 2.
4. Some salt and white/black pepper

Steps :

1. Beat together the eggs and milk/water corn starch mixture, salt and pepper. Divide to 3 portions.
2. Slightly grease a non stick frying pan.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
4. Tilt the pan with circular motion to make an approx. 7~8" diameter egg skin.
5. Brown both sides of egg skin over medium heat.
6. Remove from heat and set aside.
