Quick & Easy Special Fried Rice
Special Fried Rice is a variation of the classic Chinese dish, which is loaded with different, richer ingredients. Fried rice is one of the easiest dishes to make at home, with a short prep time and minimal clean-up! You can omit the ingredients you don’t like and add your favourite!..
INGREDIENTS
• 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup leftover medium to long grain rice**** (see notes below)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 pc spring onion (scallion)
• ½ pc shallot
• 1 egg
• 100 grams meat*
• 200 grams vegetables**
• 1½ teaspoons light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt & pepper, to taste
1. Chop the vegetables and the spring onion. Next, chop the garlic and shallot finely and grate the ginger. Finally, chop all the meat.
2. Add some of the vegetable oil to a wok on high heat. Once the oil is smoking, add the egg to the wok and fry. Once the egg is slightly set, scramble it by beating it with a spatula. Then push it aside.
3. Add more oil. Once it is smoking, add the rice. Separate it with the spatula to ensure that each grain is evenly fried.
4. After around 2 minutes, add the meat and stir until well mixed. Continue to stir fry for 2 minutes or longer if the meat is not cooked beforehand. Then add some of the vegetables and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add more and more of the vegetables in stages like this until all of them have been added.
5. Add the scallion and stir well, reserving half for garnish after serving. Add light soy sauce, pepper and salt at this stage.
6. Take off the heat and let cool slightly. Now add sesame oil and stir until well mixed into the rice. Finally, garnish with the reserved scallion. Enjoy your special fried rice while it’s still hot!
Notes
*You can use any three types of vegetables. Our pick is peas, carrots, and corn. However, you can choose any vegetables as long as the combined weight of the vegetables is approximately 200 g.
**You can use any meat as long as the total weight is 100g. Our favourite combination is chicken and shrimp.
***For a vegetarian edition, you can substitute meat with tofu or you can sub in 150 grams more vegetables for a vegetarian, rich special fried rice. If you prefer not to have eggs, you can omit those too. Instead, mix a dash of white vinegar into the soy sauce.
****If you do not have leftover rice, make a fresh batch and dry it in the oven. Put it in the refrigerator to chill it, and you will have rice that is perfect for this Chinese takeaway recipe. When frying the rice, do not mash the grains with the spatula! If the grains are looking a bit dry, add more oil. Add any more seasonings you like.
