Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Tbsp butter (divided)
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 large carrot (peeled and cubed)
1 small white onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
4-5 cups rice (cooked and chilled )
1 cup frozen peas
4 green onions (thinly sliced)
1/4 cup soy sauce * (plus more to taste)
2 tsp sesame oil
3 tsp oyster sauce
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat (I've used both a nonstick and a regular skillet, I kind of prefer a nonstick for this rice). Add 1 tbsp. of the butter into the pan. Once the butter has melted, add the lightly beaten eggs. Let them cook for about 30-40 seconds or until set, then scramble. Once the eggs are fully cooked, remove them and set them aside.
  • Add the remaining butter to the pan- when it's hot, add the carrot and onion and cook until tender, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, taking care not to brown. Turn the heat up slightly and add the cold rice and peas. Cook the the mixture for about 3-4 minutes (it will sizzle and should brown a bit), then add the eggs, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil and oyster sauce. Cook for a few more minutes or until the mixture is hot. Season with salt and pepper, serve immediately.

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 3/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups white rice
3 tablespoons vegetable or wok oil, 3 turns of the pan
2 eggs, beaten
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 inches fresh ginger, minced or grated
1/2 cup shredded carrots, available in pouches in produce section, a couple of handfuls
1 small red bell pepper, diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup Tamari, dark aged soy sauce

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover and cook over medium low heat until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Spread rice out on a cookie sheet to quick cool it.
  • Heat a wok, wok shaped skillet or large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add oil to the pan. Add egg to hot oil and break into small bits as it scrambles. When eggs are scrambled, add garlic and ginger to the pan. Add carrots, pepper, scallions to the pan and quick stir-fry veggies 2 minutes. Add rice to the pan and combine with veggies. Fry rice with veggies 2 or 3 minutes. Add peas and soy sauce to the rice and stir fry 1 minute more, then serve.

Tips:

  • Use cold, leftover rice. This will help the rice grains stay separate and not become mushy.
  • Heat your wok or large skillet over high heat. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Add your oil and protein to the wok or skillet first. This will help to flavor the oil and brown the protein.
  • Add your vegetables next. Stir-fry them until they are tender-crisp.
  • Add your rice and sauce. Stir-fry until the rice is heated through and evenly coated with the sauce.
  • Serve immediately. Fried rice is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Fried rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can easily make a delicious plate of fried rice at home. So, next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fried rice a try!
