I think fried rice is one of the easiest Asian dish to make. You can whip this up real quick and the best part it's not just good for leftover rice, but leftover anything. You can throw almost anything in and it will still taste great! It's one of those meals that works no matter what you happen to have on hand. This is my version of quick and easy fried rice.Ingredients :
2 cups cold cooked rice
1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables
1 yellow or red pepper - cut small
1 cup of protein (char siew, chicken, shrimp, spam) cut small
2 eggs - beaten
2 spring onions - sliced thinly
2 cloves of garlic - chopped
2 shallots - sliced thinly
1 tsp of ginger - finely chopped
Seasoning :
1 tbsp of oyster sauce
3 tbsp of soy sauce
2 tbsp of fish sauce
some pepper
1) Heat up wok on high heat and add some oil. Put in ginger, shallots and garlic and stir fry until lightly brown.2) Add in the meat, stir fry for about 20 seconds, then add in the peppers and mixed vegetables. Stir fry for a minute and then push all the meat and vegetables to the side of the wok and then add in the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs until half cook.
3) Add in the rice and all the seasoning. Continue the stir fry for 2 minutes until everything well mixed. Check seasoning and lastly add in the spring onions.
4) Serve warm.

Gert,
ReplyDeleteno matter what you cook it will always looks good. I love fried rice and it is easy to make. Your ingredients is almost the same as my fried rice except for the oyster and fish sauce. I always love oyster sauce but hubby don't eat seafood :(
I was so pleased to read about a blogger born and raised in Malaysia, now living with a husband, Carlos.
ReplyDeleteAs you probably know, my fourth ex-husband was also named Carlos . . . I called him "Chuck" . . . who is a famous dentist in New York City.
That's why I post as MrsDocChuck (although I am now living with "Big Bear" in Clearwater, Florida).
My friend, Jaden Hare (she runs the site SteamedKitchen), also a wonderful asian cook has a few problems with her husband (like me) but we both appreciate your wonderful recipe for fried rice.
Even my 437-pound boyfriend "Big Bear" who WILL NOT eat ANY chinese food (he says that it is polluted or something) just loves fried rice.
So, I am going to try your recipe tomorrow for dinner. Thanks for sharing.
So thrilled to see Spam in your list of protein, Gert. I LOVE Spam in my fried rice and always must have a can in my pantry for that purpose. =)
ReplyDeleteI want to dig into that right now!
ReplyDeleteGert,
ReplyDeleteYour fried rice definitely look much better than mine.. Bet it taste 200% better too...

ReplyDeleteI always like fried rice but never cook it myself! At home, my fried rice tend to be "rice-cooker" rice....i.e usually pre-fry ingredients then mix with rice in the rice cooker! :)

This fried rice is beautiful! I'm actually rather young, so I'm always looking for recipes that aren't too difficult. I wouldn't want to burn the house down. (: Anyway, this is perfect, and the pictures are just superb.
