Steps:
- 1. In a large pot, combine water & rice. Bring to a boil & cook 15-20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
- 2. Put rice in the refrigerator to cool, about 1-2 hours.
- 3. When rice is cooled, gently rinse in cool water in a strainer to remove some of the gluten (stickiness). Drain well and set aside.
- 4. Meanwhile, add a small amount of Sesame oil in a Wok. Add Teriyaki sauce and cook pork until no longer pink. Cut up pork into small chunks. Set aside.
- 5. Add bean sprouts to the Wok and stir fry until hot. Add veggies and stir fry until tender-crisp.
- 6. Add pork & shrimp back into the Wok. Stir fry about 5 mins and add the eggs. Stir quickly to cook the eggs and distribute throughout the veggies & meat.
- 7. Add in the rice. Add Soy sauce to taste, as you stir & toss everything together.
Tips:
- Cook the rice perfectly: The key to a great fried rice is to use the right type of rice and cook it perfectly. Jasmine or basmati rice are good choices, as they are both long-grain and have a light, fluffy texture. Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove the starch, which can make the rice gummy.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better quality the ingredients you use, the better your fried rice will taste. Look for fresh shrimp, pork, and vegetables, and use a good quality soy sauce and oyster sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the fried rice, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the rice to steam instead of fry, and it will make the dish mushy. Cook the rice in small batches if necessary.
- Season the rice well: Be sure to season the rice well with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, ginger powder, or five-spice powder, to taste.
