- This is one of those classic dishes that American Chinese households don't normally make at home. Yet order when eating out at Chinese restaurants.
So again, while I'm living in Thailand, salt fish and chicken fried rice is not something I can easily find here.
Which means it's time for Wally to cook up something he likes to eat. And that's where I started making salt fish with chicken fried rice.
Ingredients:
Makes 2 servings
2½ cups cooked rice (I recommend jasmine rice)
10 grams - 15 grams of salted fish (I used salted mackerel)
2 large eggs
1 handful of leafy green vegetable (I used kale)
For Chicken Marinade:
150 grams chicken breast cut into cubes
Dash of white ground pepper
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch for viewers in USA)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Combine ingredients with chicken thoroughly and marinade in refrigerator for at least 5 minutes.
Add a tablespoon of cooking oil to a wok or pan on medium high heat. Add salted fish to the hot oil and cook for a few minutes. Move the fish around with a spatula and careful not to break the pieces too small.
Then add the chicken and cook until the chicken turns white. Remove and set aside chicken and salt fish.
Add two tablespoons oil back into the wok. When the oil is hot beat two eggs and pour into wok. Use spatula and mix up the eggs then immediately add your rice. Quickly mix the rice into the eggs. The eggs should still be wet enough to coat the rice and give it a yellowish color.
Turn up the fire to medium high heat to fry the rice and eggs, about a few minutes while moving the rice around the wok. Then add back in salted fish and chicken.
Give the rice a taste. Usually the salted fish is enough to flavor the rice. But if you feel it needs more salt then add a teaspoon of light soy sauce to finish off.
Add your choice of leafy green vegetables for a quick final toss. And your salt fish with chicken fried rice is ready to eat!

My favorite food for Lent ( minus the chicken), just plain salted fish. Thank you. You’re the real deal!
Hi Wally! Thanks for this Authentic Recipe with easy can-do steps, that I can finally make it at home to enjoy. Loved your Restaurant Rice Bowl Presentation. Take care and stay smiling. 💜
Great recipe! The Gai Lan was also excellent. I like gai lan with salty fish. There quality of the fish is important. Yours looks good.
wow this is my favorite dish. I love the smell of salted fish.
Yeah me too, it goes so well with fried rice!
I followed your recipe to the end but substitute the Asian greens with iceberg lettuce instead and it taste amazing.
Thank you for sharing.
Hey Eddie, for Chinese cooking iceberg lettuce is the usual vegetable for this dish. I used kale cause my wife likes kale. Great work Eddie! 👍 And thank you for watching and trying out this recipe ✌️
just made this and loved it! thanks
Thanks for coming back to leave a comment Tod 👍 I appreciate it 😃

Hey Josie, thank you!
Wiw I didn't know about this one! Delicious!❤😂
This looks amazing! Can't wait to try it.
Beautiful cooking...my fav course. Why don't you come back to NYC?
Hello, how are you? 😀 I go back to NYC once a year, it is still my home 😆 away from home.
Any tips on curing one’s own piece of fish the Cantonese way? I found some good north atlantic mackerel; 1/2 of 1 I filleted and packed in rock salt under 6lbs of weight
Hi, I wish I could tell you yes but no I’ve never salted a fish traditional Cantonese way. But you’ve certainly peaked my interest to learn 🤔
Thanks Wally! I have been trying to find out what fish was used to make this favorite dish of mine. Ham Yu is what you call it ( I grew up and knew it as Ham Gee, a thicker, fermented, salted fish in oil). I read your about section on your channel page, I actually thought you were from Hawaii (as I am). Love your show, keep up the good work.
Hi Greg! I wish I was from Hawaii 😆 I’ve never seen Ham Gee, but I am intrigued 🤔 I’ll keep an eye out for it hopefully they’ll have here in Thailand. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very delicious, I love it. Thank you for your recipe.
Thanks Nicole! Happy and safe travels! 😊
Where do you get the salted fish from and what is ot card so I know what to ask for in the market
I live in Thailand so I get it from a local market. It’s 廣東鹹魚 in Chinese. If you live in a big city with small Asian population you should be able to find this at Asian grocery store.
I tried to order this in a high end Noodle and Sushi restaurant today.
The waitress told me that if I wasn't familiar with salt fish I probably wouldn't like it so I got shrimp fried rice instead. 😕
Whoa that must be some super potent salt fish 😂 The Chinese ones are mellow in flavor, at least to me. But if you really want to try it out head over to your Asian supermarket and give this recipe a try 👍
