Categories     Rice

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil (or less)
1 egg, beaten (optional)
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil (or less)
3 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup cooked stir fry vegetables (mixture of bean sprouts, carrots, peas, green beans, water chestnuts)
2 cups leftover cold cooked rice
1 tablespoon light soy sauce (or more of less to taste)

Steps:

  • 1 tbsp oil in a skillet and stir fry onion until it is golden but not burnt. Put onions to the side of the skillet.
  • Add eggs to skillet and fry until fluffy, remove eggs from skillet.
  • Add the extra oil to skillet then add veggies and rice, tossing to get everything mixed.
  • Add egg back to skillet then sprinkle the rice with soy sauce and enjoy.
  • Note you may use less oil, my family loves the taste of it so I use more than most.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and clumps less than freshly cooked rice, making it ideal for fried rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: Make sure the rice is cooked through but not mushy. If the rice is too soft, it will break down and become mushy when fried.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent the rice from sticking and burning.
  • Use high heat: High heat is essential for getting that perfect wok hei, or "breath of the wok," that characteristic smoky flavor of fried rice.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: Cook the rice in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the wok. Overcrowding will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to experiment with different vegetables in your fried rice. Some popular choices include carrots, peas, broccoli, and bell peppers.
  • Add protein: Chicken, shrimp, and tofu are all great protein options for fried rice. Just be sure to cook the protein thoroughly before adding it to the rice.
  • Season to taste: Season the fried rice with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper to taste. You can also add a bit of sugar for sweetness and a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.

Conclusion:

Chicken fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make the best chicken fried rice that you and your loved ones will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken fried rice a try!
