*Fried Rice*
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
- 3 cups cooked long-grain white rice, day-old or cooled (about 1 cup dry)
|
|
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil
|
|
- 3 large eggs, beaten
|
|
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, or other vegetables
|
|
- 4 green onions, thinly
|
|
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
|
|
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
|
|
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
|
|
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
|
|
- Salt and white pepper, to taste
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
1. Break up the **cold rice** with your hands or a fork so there are no large clumps.
|
|
2. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon **oil** and swirl to coat.
|
|
3. Add your vegetables to the wok and stir fry for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
|
|
4. Add another teaspoon of **oil** and add the **rice** to the wok. Let it sit to develop color and texture. Then stir fry, tossing everything together.
|
|
5. Drizzle with **soy sauce** and **oyster sauce** and toss to coat evenly.
|
|
6. Clear a center in the middle of the rice, and put the rest of the oil in. Add your beaten **eggs** and cook them completely through.
|
|
7. Fold the eggs in and break up any larger pieces. Drizzle with **sesame oil**, season with **salt and white pepper**, and toss once more.
|
|
8. Garnish with the rest of the **green onions** and serve immediately.

## Notes
|
|
### Day-Old Rice
|
|
- Freshly cooked rice has too much moisture and will steam instead of fry. Spread cooked rice on a sheet pan and refrigerate uncovered overnight for best results.
|
|
|
|
### High Heat
|
|
- A screaming hot wok is essential. Cook in batches if your burner isn't very powerful — crowding the pan drops the temperature and causes steaming.
|
|
|
|
### Customize
|
|
- Add diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu in step 4 before the vegetables.
|
|
- A splash of rice wine or Shaoxing wine added with the soy sauce adds depth.
|
|
- Substitute frozen corn, edamame, or diced bell pepper for the peas and carrots.
