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



Chinese Fried Rice with Shrimp image

This was my mother's favorite way to use up leftover white rice. It really doesn't taste like the fried rice you get at a restaurant, but it still a great meal. I typically throw in whatever vegetables I have in my kitchen, and leave out the shrimp or chicken. I also cut this down to accommodate the amount of rice I have. Cooking time does not include making rice, chicken or shrimp since this is usually made out of leftovers.

Number Of Ingredients 9

CHINESE RESTAURANT FRIED RICE



Chinese Restaurant Fried Rice image

Chinese fried rice that tastes just like in the Chinese restaurants. I have tried many recipes and was never able to make it taste like in the restaurants until I met someone who was a chef in a Chinese restaurant and let me in on the secrets.

Provided by poune33

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups uncooked basmati rice
2 cups water
1/2-3/4 cup chicken stock
1 ham steak (cut into cubes)
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 eggs
3 -4 tablespoons canola oil (or peanut oil)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Cook your rice (I use a rice cooker). You want it a bit on the crunchy side, so even though you might want to add more water, DON'T.
  • Let your rice cool completely (I spread it out on a baking sheet and put it in the freezer if I'm in a hurry). You can even cook your rice the night before and let cool in the fridge.
  • Heat a wok over high heat with 1 tbs. of oil. Add eggs and scramble until cooked. Add ham and peas and fry for about a minute.(You can add or omit any veggie/meat combo you want.).
  • Remove omelet from wok. Clean the wok out a bit so the leftover egg doesn't burn while you're heating up your wok and oil again.
  • Add remaining oil to the wok and heat over high heat until it is very hot. Add your cold rice to the wok and stir to coat every grain. (You can add some more oil if you want; it just depends on how greasy you like it.).
  • Add your chicken stock to the rice; do it a little bit at a time to give the rice a chance to soak up the liquid. I'm not sure exactly the amount of stock to be added; I eyeball it because it seems to change every time. Basically, you want the rice to soak up the flavor, but you don't want to put in too much as it will end up quite sticky.
  • Stir fry for a while, stirring constantly until there is no liquid left, then chop up your omelet and add it, along with the soy sauce and salt. Stir. You can add more or less soy sauce and salt according to your taste. NOTE: In this case, the salt is simply to enhance the flavor of the dish, not to make it salty. And remember that soy sauce is salty in itself--unless you use the salt-free or low-salt type. (It is an MSG substitute.).
  • Enjoy! It's the best homemade fried rice you'll ever make!

LOW-SODIUM CHINESE FRIED RICE



Low-Sodium Chinese Fried Rice image

BETTER than take-out!!! Flavors blend well and are delicious! The keys to success for this recipe is using COLD rice, otherwise it will be sticky. Also, for good flavor, sesame oil must be used.

KITTENCAL'S BEST CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH EGG



Kittencal's Best Chinese Fried Rice With Egg image

The secret to the best Chinese fried rice is onions, garlic and sesame oil, you may add in cooked chicken, beef, pork or shrimp, also you may add in some frozen thawed peas or fresh sauteed or canned mushrooms, whatever you have handy in your fridge! --- for this recipe it is best to use slightly undercooked rice that is more firm that soft the best recipe is the firm option on my recipe#350260 the amount of egg does not matter, if you like lots of egg then use as many eggs as desired, if you like a little heat then add in some cayenne pepper, I most always do you and you will probably need to adjust the soy sauce to your liking --- you will love this rice!

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Combine pork belly strips, water, dark soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger in a Dutch oven over low heat; bring to a gentle simmer, about 10 minutes. Cover and transfer to the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until pork belly is soft and tender, about 2 hours. Sprinkle spring onions and cashew nuts on top. Cover and let stand until spring onions soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Bring water, rice, and salt to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse with tap water.
  • Heat olive oil in a wok over medium-high heat until smoking. Cook and stir rice until coated with oil and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in green peas, egg, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce; cook until egg is set and peas are heated through, about 3 minutes.
  • Serve pork belly over rice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the fried rice will be. Use fresh, high-quality vegetables, meats, and seafood.
  • Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If the rice is too mushy, it will make the fried rice gummy.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will also add flavor to the dish.
  • Heat the wok over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the rice and vegetables and will also help to prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: The vegetables should be added first, followed by the meat or seafood, and then the rice. This will help to ensure that the vegetables are cooked properly and that the meat or seafood is not overcooked.
  • Stir-fry the rice constantly: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will also help to distribute the flavors evenly.
  • Season the rice to taste: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of rice vinegar or sesame oil for extra flavor.
