ASIAN ESSENTIALS: EGG FRIED RICE
People that know me, know that I love rice... In all its brilliant forms. If you have ever been to an Asian restaurant, you probably have had egg-fried rice. It is usually fried with onion, and veggies. While that is good, sometimes, I just want some rice, with eggs and Asian seasonings. And, that is what this recipe is all...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. About the rice. This recipe is best made with day-old cooked rice; however, there is a trick that you can use. Cook the rice according to package directions, then spread it out on a baking sheet, and let cool, and dry for an hour or two. It is not the same as using day-old rice, but it is pretty close.

- 7. Lightly scramble, then remove from the pan, and reserve.
- 8. Add the remaining tablespoon of grapeseed oil to the skillet, let come up to temperature, and add the rice.

Steps:
- 1. Prep ingredients Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Scrub carrots, quarter lengthwise, then cut crosswise into ¼- inch pieces. Trim ends from scallions and thinly slice. Peel and finely chop 2 teaspoons garlic. In a small bowl, combine tamari, ¼ cup vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, and 4 teaspoons sugar; stir to dissolve sugar. 2. Cook rice Add rice to boiling water, and cook (like pasta) stirring occasionally until almost tender, about 8 minutes. Add carrots and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse well with cold water, and drain again. 3. Cook chicken Pat chicken dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over high. Add chicken and cook on one side until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and add tamari mixture to skillet and cook, until chicken is cooked through and sauce is reduced to ⅓ cup, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. 4. Sauté Aromatics Turn chicken to coat in glaze and transfer to a plate; cover to keep warm. Transfer glaze to a bowl. Rinse out skillet and wipe dry. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over high. Add garlic and half of the scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 5.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your fried rice. Look for premium soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. If you can, use freshly cooked rice for the best results.
- Cook your rice correctly: The rice should be cooked and cooled before you start making your fried rice. This will help prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent your rice from sticking and burning. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead.
- Heat your wok or skillet over high heat: This will help create a nice sear on your rice and vegetables.
- Add your ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add your ingredients is important. Start with the aromatics (such as garlic, ginger, and onions), then add the vegetables, and finally add the rice and sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the rice will not cook evenly and will become mushy. Cook your fried rice in batches if necessary.
- Stir-fry until the rice is heated through: Stir-fry the rice until it is heated through and slightly browned. This will help give it a nice flavor and texture.
- Season to taste: Season your fried rice to taste with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. You can also add other seasonings, such as chili sauce, black pepper, or white pepper.

Asian fried rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and authentic fried rice dish at home. Enjoy!
