Chinese Fried Rice

Chinese Fried Rice

This Chinese fried rice has the flavor those other recipes are

missing. Tastes like takeout. I want to dedicate this dish to

Bergy, whose recipe "AM & B's Indonesian Mehoon" has inspired

this dish. Make sure you season your rice with salt before it

cooks. Add some butter to the cooking water, as well. Other

seasonings should be added before you cook, as well, so it has

time to get inside the rice. If you like sesame flavor, add 1

tsp. of it after you add the green onions, but do not use it as

a cooking oil because it easily burns.

Ingredients:

                                                   (For 4 to 6 persons)

3/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 1/2 tablespoons oil

1 egg, lightly beaten

(or more eggs if you like)

3 drops soy sauce

3 drops sesame oil

8 ounces cooked lean boneless pork or 8 ounces chicken,chopped

1/2 cup finely chopped carrot (very small)

1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed

4 cups cold cooked rice, grains separated(preferably medium grain)

4 green onions, chopped

2 cups bean sprouts

2 tablespoons light soy sauce(add more if you like)


Directions:


1 -Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok; add chopped onions and stir-fry

                       until onions turn a nice brown color, about 8-10 minutes;

                        remove from wok.

 2 -Allow wok to cool slightly.

 3 -Mix egg with 3 drops of soy and 3 drops of sesame oil; set

aside.

 4 -Add 1/2 tbsp oil to wok, swirling to coat surfaces; add egg

                    mixture; working quickly, swirl egg until egg sets against wok;

                     when egg puffs, flip egg and cook other side briefly; remove

                    from wok, and chop into small pieces.

 5 -Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok; add selected meat to wok, along with

                  carrots, peas, and cooked onion; stir-fry for 2 minutes.

 6 -Add rice, green onions, and bean sprouts, tossing to mix

                 well; stir-fry for 3 minutes.

 7 -Add 2 tbsp of light soy sauce and chopped egg to rice

                  mixture and fold in; stir-fry for 1 minute more; serve.
