NO-FRY FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Give your rice a good wash and then cook it according to package directions or in a rice cooker.
• Heat a tablespoon of water over medium-high heat in a nonstick frying pan or wok, until the water begins to simmer. Add the carrots, broccoli, and green onions and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, corn, pineapple, spinach, chile, and cilantro. Mix together and turn down to medium heat. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time as needed, to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
• To prepare the sauce, place the garlic, ginger, tamari, and coconut sugar in a small saucepan. Stir and let it cook for a minute or until the sugar dissolves. Add the ½ cup water.
• Mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce, stir well, and let it cook and thicken for a further 2 minutes.
• Once the rice is cooked, throw it in the pan with the cooked veggies, pour your delicious sauce on top and mix it all through! Serve immediately.

CHINESE TAKE-OUT FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tblsp of the oil in a wok or frying pan set over medium heat. Add the shrimp, ham, and peas and cook 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and transfer to a plate to keep warm.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the pan. Add the eggs, green onions, salt & pepper.
• Scramble the eggs in the pan. Once this mixture comes together in clumps, add the rice, shrimp mixture, and rice wine. Adjust the seasoning with soy sauce or salt & pepper. Serve hot.
• Feel free to saute cabbage, broccoli, bok choy, or diced carrots along with the shrimp, ham and peas.
• Use cold leftover rice only. This recipe won't work well with freshly cooked rice. It will be mushy and stick to the pan, a real mess.

CHINESE HOUSE SPECIAL FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Cook the eggs in a thin layer in a skillet and then chop and set aside.
• Cook onions in oil in a hot wok until they just begin to brown; add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
• Crumble the rice between your fingers so there are no clumps and add to the wok with additional oil if needed to keep from sticking, season it with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until it is nicely separated on the grains.
• Move the rice to one side and add the sausage/pork/shrimp/chicken mixture, cooking that part until the sausage/pork renders any fat and the shrimp turn opaque.
• Stir in the peas and carrots, scallions, bean sprouts, and chopped egg and stir-fry until the bean sprouts go limp or the carrot is tender, whichever way you want to test it.
• Stir in the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and sesame oil, mixing well, then serve.

CHINESE FRIED RICE (THE REAL DEAL)

Steps:

• Prepare the jasmine rice. Combine 4 cups of jasmine rice and 4 cups of water in a rice cooker. Once the rice is cooled place in the refrigerator until chilled.
• Scramble eggs in seperate pan using whatever oil you normally cook eggs with. Make sure to fold the eggs over, so they can be cut into thin strips.
• Heat wok and 3-4 tablespoons of wok oil to medium heat.
• Saute the white onion until soft and partially transparent (usually takes me 3 minutes or so) along with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, frozen peas and/or carrots. ***If you opted for green onions skip this step and saute the peas/carrots in wok oil.***.
• Add the rice making sure to seperate the grains (with fingers) and mix with the vegetables. Add another 3 tablespoons of wok oil, sesame oil, egg strips, ginger, chicken stock, and sugar (green onions if you opted for these).
• Raise the heat to HIGH add soy sauce to desired darkness/taste and STIR-FRY. (I usually use anywhere from 1/2 to a full cup of soy)***it is crucial for the stove to be as hot as possible*****.
• Basically you are going to Stir-fry till all the liquids are dissolved and the fried rice has reached the dryness desired.
• While cooling salt to taste in order to enhance the flavor.

CHINESE RESTAURANT FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Cook your rice (I use a rice cooker). You want it a bit on the crunchy side, so even though you might want to add more water, DON'T.
• Let your rice cool completely (I spread it out on a baking sheet and put it in the freezer if I'm in a hurry). You can even cook your rice the night before and let cool in the fridge.
• Heat a wok over high heat with 1 tbs. of oil. Add eggs and scramble until cooked. Add ham and peas and fry for about a minute.(You can add or omit any veggie/meat combo you want.).
• Remove omelet from wok. Clean the wok out a bit so the leftover egg doesn't burn while you're heating up your wok and oil again.
• Add remaining oil to the wok and heat over high heat until it is very hot. Add your cold rice to the wok and stir to coat every grain. (You can add some more oil if you want; it just depends on how greasy you like it.).
• Add your chicken stock to the rice; do it a little bit at a time to give the rice a chance to soak up the liquid. I'm not sure exactly the amount of stock to be added; I eyeball it because it seems to change every time. Basically, you want the rice to soak up the flavor, but you don't want to put in too much as it will end up quite sticky.
• Stir fry for a while, stirring constantly until there is no liquid left, then chop up your omelet and add it, along with the soy sauce and salt. Stir. You can add more or less soy sauce and salt according to your taste. NOTE: In this case, the salt is simply to enhance the flavor of the dish, not to make it salty. And remember that soy sauce is salty in itself--unless you use the salt-free or low-salt type. (It is an MSG substitute.).
• Enjoy! It's the best homemade fried rice you'll ever make!
