CHINESE FRIED RICE



Chinese Fried Rice image

This Chinese fried rice has the flavor those other recipes are missing. Tastes like takeout. I want to dedicate this dish to Bergy, whose recipe "AM & B's Indonesian Mehoon" has inspired this dish. Make sure you season your rice with salt before it cooks. Add some butter to the cooking water, as well. Other seasonings should be added before you cook, as well, so it has time to get inside the rice. If you like sesame flavor, add 1 tsp. of it after you add the green onions, but do not use it as a cooking oil because it easily burns.

RESTAURANT QUALITY CHINESE CHICKEN FRIED RICE



Restaurant Quality Chinese Chicken Fried Rice image

I created this recipe out of desperation last night when it was getting late and everyone was HUNGRY now, so I call it one of my Desperation Dinners! It is really pretty and tastes as good as something you order in a restaurant! It was very cheap to make. You buy the chicken on sale and boil it and shred it and put in freezer in baggies till you need it and it's all ready to use in recipes at last minute! You can get the canned water chestnuts for $1 or less on sale and keep on hand in pantry! Hope you like this as much as we do!

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less moist and will fry up better, resulting in a more distinct grain separation.
  • Cook the rice properly: Make sure the rice is cooked through but not mushy. If the rice is too soft, it will break down when you stir-fry it.
  • Use a large wok or skillet: A large wok or skillet will allow you to spread the rice out in a thin layer, which will help it cook evenly.
  • Use high heat: High heat will help the rice to brown and develop a nice flavor.
  • Stir-fry the rice in batches: If you are making a large batch of rice, stir-fry it in batches to prevent it from becoming overcrowded in the wok or skillet.
  • Add the ingredients in order: Add the ingredients to the wok or skillet in the order specified in the recipe. This will help to ensure that each ingredient cooks properly.
  • Season the rice to taste: Season the rice with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.

Conclusion:

Chinese Chicken Stir-Fried Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your Chinese Chicken Stir-Fried Rice turns out perfect every time.
