Crispy Fried Rice

Most of the recipes I posted previously were results from references I took from many random online recipes and trying it out and see what works best and what can be improved. But this recipe was just a random one that I "created" since I was just grabbing ingredients I can find at home and cooked it according to my gut feelings. I was intending to making ginger fried rice and I did not have enough ginger and barely was there any ginger taste. The fried rice was just bland and the fish sauce caught my sight, and it turned out surprisingly yummy! It's got the Thai/Vietnamese vibe to it. Wonder if an actual recipe like this exist? Maybe in Thai/Vietnamese cuisine I reckon?  


You will need:
(3 servings)

150g mince pork
3 bowls of leftover rice
soy sauce
sugar
cornflour
4-5 slices of ginger
1 spring onion
oil
fish sauce
oyster sauce

I actually had ginger in it like I said I was going to make ginger fried rice but tweaked it half way so I didn't include it as it is not really necessary for this special fried rice that I "created".

Method:
1. Marinate the meat with soy sauce, sugar and corn flour.
2. Mince the ginger and spring onion.
3. In a heated frying pan, add in some oil and ginger. Fry it until you smell the ginger fragrance.
4. Add in the rice, fry until the rice are separated individually. Add in more oil accordingly if the pan is too dry.
5. Remove the rice from the pan. Add in some oil and fry the meat until cooked, Add in some oyster sauce to give more flavouring.
6. Add the rice to the mince pork, keep stir frying it so they are well mixed. Add in more oil and also the spring onions. Stir fry.
7.Here is where the magic comes in-- FISH SAUCE!! Add in 5-6 tsp of fish sauce. Stir fry.
8.To create the crispy effect evenly spread the rice and mince pork on the frying pan and leave it for 2 mins and stir fry. Then repeat once. This should make the rice turn golden brown. Taste it and adjust the taste accordingly.
9. Finally, add in a pinch of salt and stir fry it for another 1-2 mins and you are ready to serve!
