When going out to eat to an Asian restaurant,
fried rice is the cornerstone of any meal.
Having a good recipe at home means
authentic fried rice any time.
Rice that is a day or two old works best.
Start with boiled rice...about 3 to 4 cups.
Put 4 tablespoons olive oil in a pan.
Let it heat up.
Add 1 egg, scrambled.
The 'scrambled' egg will be real greasy.
This is the base for the fried rice.
Add 1/2 a carrot,
peeled and finely chopped.
Add 1/4 cup frozen peas.
Stir until peas and carrots are tender...
about 7-10 minutes.
Add the rice-
brown rice works amazing.
Stir gently.
Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup soy sauce. Try 1/4 cup first,
then add the other 1/4 cup as needed.
Fried rice works great with
baked salmon and buttered broccoli.
baked salmon and buttered broccoli.
It a filling snack 'a la carte'as well.
Cooking dry or brown rice:
2 cups rice
4 cups water; add more
as needed while cooking in 1/2 cup portions
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large saucepan, add water, rice, butter and salt.
