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.

Categories     Chicken

Time 28m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 1/2 tablespoons oil
1 egg, lightly beaten (or more eggs if you like)
3 drops soy sauce
3 drops sesame oil
8 ounces cooked lean boneless pork or 8 ounces chicken, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot (very small)
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
4 cups cold cooked rice, grains separated (preferably medium grain)
4 green onions, chopped
2 cups bean sprouts
2 tablespoons light soy sauce (add more if you like)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok; add chopped onions and stir-fry until onions turn a nice brown color, about 8-10 minutes; remove from wok.
  • Allow wok to cool slightly.
  • Mix egg with 3 drops of soy and 3 drops of sesame oil; set aside.
  • Add 1/2 tbsp oil to wok, swirling to coat surfaces; add egg mixture; working quickly, swirl egg until egg sets against wok; when egg puffs, flip egg and cook other side briefly; remove from wok, and chop into small pieces.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok; add selected meat to wok, along with carrots, peas, and cooked onion; stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add rice, green onions, and bean sprouts, tossing to mix well; stir-fry for 3 minutes.
  • Add 2 tbsp of light soy sauce and chopped egg to rice mixture and fold in; stir-fry for 1 minute more; serve.
  • Set out additional soy sauce on the table, if desired.

Tips for Perfect Fried Rice:

- **Use day-old rice:** The rice will be less sticky and easier to separate. - **Use a well-seasoned wok:** This will help the rice to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking. - **Heat the wok over high heat:** This will create a nice sear on the rice and help to develop its flavor. - **Add the rice in small batches:** This will prevent the rice from clumping together. - **Stir the rice constantly:** This will help to ensure that the rice cooks evenly and doesn't burn. - **Add the sauce and vegetables towards the end of cooking:** This will help to preserve their flavor and texture. - **Serve immediately:** Fried rice is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

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 fried rice every time. Whether you're using leftover rice or fresh rice, be sure to use day-old rice for the best results. And don't forget to season your wok well and heat it over high heat before adding the rice. With a little practice, you'll be able to make restaurant-quality fried rice at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fried rice a try!
