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.

I created this recipe out of desperation last night when it was getting late and everyone was HUNGRY now, so I call it one of my Desperation Dinners! It is really pretty and tastes as good as something you order in a restaurant! It was very cheap to make. You buy the chicken on sale and boil it and shred it and put in freezer in baggies till you need it and it's all ready to use in recipes at last minute! You can get the canned water chestnuts for $1 or less on sale and keep on hand in pantry! Hope you like this as much as we do!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: As with any stir-fry, it's important to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking. This will help ensure that your rice doesn't overcook or burn.
  • Use day-old rice: Freshly cooked rice is too moist and sticky for stir-frying. Using day-old rice will help prevent your rice from clumping together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method, so it's important not to overcrowd the pan. If you do, your food will steam instead of fry.
  • Use high heat: Stir-frying is also a high-heat cooking method, so make sure your pan or wok is nice and hot before you add your ingredients.
  • Stir constantly: Stir-frying is all about movement. Keep your ingredients moving in the pan or wok to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season to taste: Stir-fried rice is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, or other seasonings to taste.

Conclusion:

Chinese Chicken Stir-Fried Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of prep work, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
