Japanese Chahan Or Fried Rice Food

JAPANESE CHAHAN OR FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Break apart the cooked rice in a bowl.
• Heat a pan or wok. Add 2 tbsp of canola or neutral oil. Once hot, add in the onion and garlic. Sauté until aromatic. Add in the carrots. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
• Add in the rest of the corn, peas, and mushrooms. Season with 1 tsp salt. This will be a little salty but once the rice is mixed in, it will be just right.
• Add in the cooked rice. Season with soy sauce and black pepper. Mix well. Cook over high heat, mixing constantly to avoid the bottom from sticking. Feel free to season with more salt or soy sauce if desired.
• Finish off with some sesame oil and then mix well. Transfer rice to a bowl and pack with a spoon. Place a plate over and flip to create a rounded dome shape. Garnish with some sesame seeds and spring onions, if desired. Enjoy while hot!

• Finally, add salt and pepper to taste. You may also add 1 tablespoon of sake if desired. Make sure all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
• Serve the chahan in a rice bowl while it is still hot and fresh from the wok. Garnish the fried rice with seaweed flakes, sesame seeds, and pickled red ginger (beni shoga).
