Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c uncooked basmati rice
2 c water
1/2 to 3/4 c chicken stock
1 ham steak, cut into small cubes
1/2 c frozen peas
2 large eggs
3 to 4 Tbsp canola oil or peanut oil
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp soy sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Cook your rice on the stove or in a rice cooker. You want it a bit on the crunchy side, so even though you might want to add more water, Do Not! Let the rice cool completely. You can even cook it the night before and let cool in the fridge.
  • 2. Heat a wok over high heat with 1 Tablespoon of oil. Add eggs and scramble until cooked. Add the ham and peas and fry for about a minute. Remove egg mixture from wok. Clean the wok out a bit so leftover egg doesn't burn while you are heating up the wok and oil again.
  • 3. Add remaining oil and heat over high heat until very hot. Add cold rice and stir to coat every grain. Add chicken stock a bit at a time to give the rice a chance to soak up the liquid. Add much just enough stock the rice will soak up the flavor- you do not want it sticky.
  • 4. Stir fry , stirring constantly until there is no liquid left, then chop up the egg mixture and add it, along with the soy sauce and salt. Stir. You can add more or less soy sauce and salt according to you taste.
  • 5. The secret is to use cold al dente cooked rice and to cook the eggs and add-ins separate;then add them in later. Be sure to let the rice soak up the chicken stock , but do not let the rice become sticky. Enjoy- this is the best homemade fried rice you will ever make.
