HOW TO MAKE FRIED RICE

 

Ingredients :

-  4 cups white or brown rice, previously cooked 

- 2 carrots

- 1 medium yellow onion

- 1 clove garlic

- 1 tsp. fresh ginger

- 1 cup bean sprouts

- 3 eggs

-1 pinch black pepper

- 1 pinch salt

- 4 tbsp. soy sauce

- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil, plus 2 tbsp. additional sesame oil

- Green onion for garnish

- Shrimp, chicken, pork or tofu, already cooked (optional)

Steps :

- Prepare 4 cups of cooked rice, if you haven't done so already.

- Wash the vegetables, dice the carrots and onions, set them aside.

-  Add oil and turn the bunner on, setting to medium heat.

- Toss the vegetables into the pan for about 3 minutes. You want the vegetables to "sweat", not brown. 

    Add  1 teaspoon of salt into the pan.

- Incorporate the cooked chicken or shrimp into the rest of the ingredients.

- Put a bit more oil into the frying pan.

- Add the eggs to the pan. You can either scramble it with the other ingredients or scrape everything to the 

   side and quickly cook the eggs in the middle of the pan. 

- Toss the rice in carefully. Fry for about two minutes, just enough to heat up the rice 

   and mix all the ingredients together. Add approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons of soy sauce 

   and fry for another 30 seconds. Remove pan from  burner. 

- Put the fried rice on a dish and serve immediately.
