Categories     Rice Sides

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 c uncooked short-grain japanese white rice
soybean oil
2 eggs beaten
1/2 c finely diced green onions (scallions)
1/2 c frozen peas, thawed
1 medium carrot, finely grated
4 tsp soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the rice according to the package directions. Once done, empty into a medium mixing bowl. In large skillet, heat 2 tsps. oil. Scramble the eggs into small pieces until cooked. Empty scrambled eggs into the bowl with the rice and stir together. Using the same pan, add additional oil, diced green onions, peas, and carrot. Let simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Add several scoops of cooled rice and egg mixture to the skillet. Keep gradually adding scoop ata a time to the pan and stir continuously. While mixing, slowly add the soy sauce a teaspoon at a time until fried rice is a golden brown color. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • 2. This recipe is usually served with Benihana Hibachi Steak. Tip: To thaw peas, place in a colander and run warm water over them.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your fried rice. Use good quality soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked and cooled before you stir-fry it. This will help the rice to stay separate and fluffy.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Stir-fry the rice over high heat: High heat will help to create a nice wok hei or "breath of the wok." This is a characteristic flavor that is often associated with Chinese stir-fries.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add the ingredients is important. Start with the aromatics (ginger, garlic, onion), then add the vegetables, protein, and finally the rice.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: If you overcrowd the wok, the rice will not cook evenly. Cook the rice in batches if necessary.
  • Season the rice to taste: Once the rice is cooked, season it with soy sauce, sesame oil, and other seasonings to taste.
