Growing up in the South Pacific, rice was the mainstay of our diet. When my husband and I moved stateside, we created this Hawaiian fried rice recipe. We bring this dish to every potluck, and it's always the hit of the party. -Janice Edwards, Plainville, Illinois

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups uncooked jasmine rice
3 cups water
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), cubed
½ cup sliced Chinese sweet pork sausage (lup cheong)
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
½ cup chopped green onion
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the rice cool completely.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat, and brown the luncheon meat and sausage. Set aside, and pour the beaten eggs into the hot skillet. Scramble the eggs, and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and stir in the rice. Toss the rice with the hot oil until heated through and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic powder, toss the rice for 1 more minute to develop the garlic taste, and stir in the luncheon meat, sausage, scrambled eggs, pineapple, and oyster sauce. Cook and stir until the oyster sauce coats the rice and other ingredients, 2 to 3 minutes, stir in the green onions, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Day-old rice is ideal for fried rice, as it has less moisture and will not clump together.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will impart a delicious flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the rice in small batches: This will help to ensure that the rice is cooked evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more colorful and varied the vegetables, the more flavorful and visually appealing the fried rice will be.
  • Add protein: Protein such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu can be added to the fried rice for a more complete meal.
  • Use flavorful seasonings: Soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce are all common seasonings used in fried rice. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • Cook the rice until it is slightly browned: This will give the fried rice a nice smoky flavor.
  • Serve the fried rice immediately: Fried rice is best served hot and fresh.
