EMERGENCY "DUMP 'N BAKE" FRIED RICE

Emergency

Recipe video above. This recipe was conceived as an emergency, ultra low-effort side dish. Just dump all the ingredients in a pan, and shove it in the oven. End result: seasoned rice that's amazingly similar to wok-tossed fried rice! Every grain of rice is perfectly cooked and fluffy, and the bacon even goes golden!Uses less liquid than the usual 1 : 1.5 rice to water ratio because we need to factor in the water that comes off the frozen vegetables (a surprising amount!).Bonus: this recipe starts with uncooked rice. No need to plan ahead with day-old cooked rice like you usually do!Add in options - like eggs, chicken, see Notes.PLEASE DO NOT stray from recommended rice per recipe. If you do, I cannot guarantee outcome!

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups long grain white rice (, UNCOOKED (Note 1))
2 cups chicken or veg stock (, low sodium)
1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce ((Note 2))
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((dry sherry, mirin or sake, Note 3))
2 garlic cloves (, minced with crusher (straight into pan))
2 cups frozen diced veg ((carrots, peas, corn mix, Note 4 fresh veg))
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 1/4 cups / 180g bacon (uncooked) or ham (, chopped (I use store bought chopped bacon, Note 5))
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 cup green onion (, finely sliced (2 - 3 stems))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan).
Mix ingredients in baking dish: Place all Baked Fried Rice ingredients except bacon in a baking dish (~22 x 32cm / 9 x 13"). Stir, then spread rice evenly across pan.
Top with bacon: Scatter bacon across surface.
Bake covered 40 min: Cover with foil. Bake 40 minutes.
Bake uncovered 15 min: Remove foil. Bake uncovered 15 minutes - this will colour the bacon. Liquid should be absorbed, rice should be cooked (but will seem wet, will absorb and soften while resting).
Rest 10 min: Cover loosely with foil, stand for 10 minutes.
Fluff: Add green onion and sesame oil. Fluff rice with fork, marvel at how perfectly cooked the rice grains are. Serve!

Tips:

Use Calrose rice: This short-grain rice is commonly used in Hawaiian dishes and is known for its sticky texture when cooked.
Rinse the rice thoroughly: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
Cook the rice according to package instructions: Make sure to use the correct ratio of water to rice and cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is versatile and can be made with any type of vegetables you like. Some popular choices include carrots, celery, broccoli, and onions.
Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple gives this dish a bright and tropical flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before adding it to the recipe.
Use soy sauce and oyster sauce: These two sauces add a savory and umami flavor to the dish.
Top with green onions and sesame seeds: These garnishes add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Hawaiian baked rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be made with a variety of vegetables and protein sources. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
