CHINESE FRIED RICE



Chinese Fried Rice image

This Chinese fried rice has the flavor those other recipes are missing. Tastes like takeout. I want to dedicate this dish to Bergy, whose recipe "AM & B's Indonesian Mehoon" has inspired this dish. Make sure you season your rice with salt before it cooks. Add some butter to the cooking water, as well. Other seasonings should be added before you cook, as well, so it has time to get inside the rice. If you like sesame flavor, add 1 tsp. of it after you add the green onions, but do not use it as a cooking oil because it easily burns.

CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS



Chinese Fried Rice With Shrimp and Peas image

This is a more subdued version of fried rice than the spicier Thai fried rice. It's a great dish to make if you have cooked rice on hand and a great vehicle for whatever vegetables may be in your refrigerator. Feel free to add other cooked vegetables, meat or seafood.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut in 3/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon dry sherry
5 to 6 cups cooked and cooled basmati or long-grain rice
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1/2 cup cooked fresh or thawed frozen peas
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Beat one of the eggs in a small bowl and salt lightly. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a small nonstick frying pan, and add the beaten egg. Swirl in the pan until the egg forms an even coat, like a thin pancake. When the egg is cooked through, roll up and slide onto a plate. Cut in thin strips (you can use a scissors or a knife). Set aside.
  • Heat a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the remaining oil and swirl around the pan, then add the shrimp and cook about one minute, stirring and tossing with a spatula or wok scoop until just about cooked through and pink. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sherry, and stir everything together. When the sizzling stops, pour in the remaining beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, and add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Stir in white and lighter green parts of the scallions, the peas and the soy sauce. Stir together for about half a minute, and transfer to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle the egg strips, scallion greens and cilantro over the top. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Freshly cooked rice is too moist and sticky for fried rice. Day-old rice has had time to dry out and will fry up better.
  • Use high heat: Fried rice is best when cooked over high heat. This will help to create a nice crispy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking fried rice, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. Otherwise, the rice will steam instead of fry.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Add your ingredients in stages: Don't add all of your ingredients to the pan at once. Start with the aromatics (such as garlic and ginger) and then add the rice and vegetables. Finally, add the protein and eggs.
  • Stir-fry until the rice is heated through: Stir-fry the rice until it is heated through and has a slight golden brown color.
  • Season to taste: Season the fried rice to taste with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and other seasonings.

Conclusion:

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