EMERGENCY "DUMP 'N BAKE" FRIED RICE



Emergency

Recipe video above. This recipe was conceived as an emergency, ultra low-effort side dish. Just dump all the ingredients in a pan, and shove it in the oven. End result: seasoned rice that's amazingly similar to wok-tossed fried rice! Every grain of rice is perfectly cooked and fluffy, and the bacon even goes golden!Uses less liquid than the usual 1 : 1.5 rice to water ratio because we need to factor in the water that comes off the frozen vegetables (a surprising amount!).Bonus: this recipe starts with uncooked rice. No need to plan ahead with day-old cooked rice like you usually do!Add in options - like eggs, chicken, see Notes.PLEASE DO NOT stray from recommended rice per recipe. If you do, I cannot guarantee outcome!

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups long grain white rice (, UNCOOKED (Note 1))
2 cups chicken or veg stock (, low sodium)
1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce ((Note 2))
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((dry sherry, mirin or sake, Note 3))
2 garlic cloves (, minced with crusher (straight into pan))
2 cups frozen diced veg ((carrots, peas, corn mix, Note 4 fresh veg))
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 1/4 cups / 180g bacon (uncooked) or ham (, chopped (I use store bought chopped bacon, Note 5))
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 cup green onion (, finely sliced (2 - 3 stems))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan).
  • Mix ingredients in baking dish: Place all Baked Fried Rice ingredients except bacon in a baking dish (~22 x 32cm / 9 x 13"). Stir, then spread rice evenly across pan.
  • Top with bacon: Scatter bacon across surface.
  • Bake covered 40 min: Cover with foil. Bake 40 minutes.
  • Bake uncovered 15 min: Remove foil. Bake uncovered 15 minutes - this will colour the bacon. Liquid should be absorbed, rice should be cooked (but will seem wet, will absorb and soften while resting).
  • Rest 10 min: Cover loosely with foil, stand for 10 minutes.
  • Fluff: Add green onion and sesame oil. Fluff rice with fork, marvel at how perfectly cooked the rice grains are. Serve!

BAKED "FRIED" RICE



Baked

If you don't have cold leftover rice around, this easy oven method will produce something very similar to the classic fried rice, with the perfect texture every time. Just like rice pilaf, the grains of rice get coated in fat before absorbing the cooking liquid, ensuring plump, tender, separate grains with no sticky clumps. Just adjust cooking time if using a different kind of rice or pan size. Garnish with green onions and serve with a runny poached egg on top if desired.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups jasmine rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
3 large garlic cloves, minced
4 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large bunch fresh cilantro, 2 inches of bottom stems trimmed and discarded, tops and remaining stems coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Place rice in large sieve; rinse under cold running water until water runs clear. Drain. Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic; stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rice and stir 3 minutes. Stir in broth and salt. Sprinkle cilantro over. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand covered 10 minutes. Fluff rice with fork. Transfer to bowl and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: Choose a medium or long-grain rice, such as Jasmine or Basmati, for the best texture.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook evenly.
  • Use the right amount of water: The general rule is 1 cup of rice to 1 1/4 cups of water, but adjust as needed based on the type of rice you are using.
  • Season the rice: Add some salt or other seasonings to the water before cooking for a more flavorful rice dish.
  • Let the rice rest: After cooking, let the rice rest for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This helps the rice absorb the remaining moisture and prevents it from becoming sticky.

Conclusion:

Baked Chinese rice with peas and ginger is a simple but flavorful dish that can be served as a side or main course. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
