VEGETABLE EGG FRIED RICE

Vegetable Egg Fried Rice image

Light and fluffy are words that should describe well-made fried rice. It shouldn't be weighed down with soy sauce or oil. Using eggs is the key to keeping it light. Cooking the rice right into the wet egg creates a pillowy, fluffy fried rice.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons cooking oil
4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups day-old rice, long grain or jasmine
1/2 cup sliced carrot (cut into half coins)
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

In a large skillet, heat the oil until a wisp of white smoke appears. Add the garlic and onion, saute 30 seconds. Add the beaten eggs and immediately add the rice, gently press down in small circles to separate the rice grains.
Stir in the carrot and bell pepper and cook for about 1 minute. Don't be afraid to scrape rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. Fold in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, white pepper and salt. Continue to stir and fold for about 2 more minutes. Cook until the rice absorbs the sauces and is slightly crisp on the edges.
Fold in the green onions and serve immediately.

You can easily adapt this recipe to vegetables you already have to make a quick, healthy dinner.

Yield serves 4-6 people as an entrée

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 cups long-grain brown rice
3 cups water
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 large Eggland's Best eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups spinach, chopped into 2-inch-wide pieces, washed well
1 bunch bok choy, about 2 cups, chopped into 2-inch-wide pieces, washed well
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 1-inch piece of gingerroot, peeled and finely minced
2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 medium red pepper, julienned into 1 1/2-inch slices
6 scallions, greens cut on the diagonal into 1 1/2-inch slices and whites sliced down the center first then cut the same as the green ends (plus more chopped fine for garnish if desired)
3 small or 2 medium carrots, cut in half lengthwise, then cut in 1/8-inch-thick slices cut on the diagonal
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce, plus more for serving if desired.
Toasted nori sheets for serving, cut into strips with kitchen scissors

Steps:

The day before: Cook rice: In a medium pot, bring rice and cold water to boil on high. Simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes. Cover pot, turn down heat to lowest setting. Cook 15 minutes. Turn heat off and let sit covered 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate 12 hours or overnight. (If you'd like to make this recipe on the same day, prepare rice and refrigerate at least 4 hours before frying.)
The day of: Remove rice from refrigerator when beginning to prepare the fried rice. Allow to warm up for 15 to 30 minutes.
In a cast-iron or nonstick pan, heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil. When pan is hot, add beaten eggs. Scramble eggs by moving a spatula continuously in the pan until eggs come together. Stop when eggs are still slightly wet. Remove eggs from pan and set aside.
Make sure all ingredients are clean, chopped, and ready before cooking.
In a large pot, put chopped spinach, bok choy, and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook on medium high heat 10 minutes until greens are cooked but still bright in color. Turn off heat. Add 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and stir. Set aside.
In a wok, large frying pan, or large saucier pan, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil on high. When the oil is hot, add minced ginger and garlic. Stir. Immediately add carrots. Cook until carrots just begin to soften-about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on stove top. Add scallions, stir, let cook 15 seconds. Add red pepper, stir, let cook, 30 seconds. Turn heat down to medium. Add tamari. Stir to coat the vegetables.
Add the rice. Stir to mix thoroughly. Add the cooked egg. Mix. Turn heat to low and cover for 5 minutes.
Serve immediately. Portion out greens and top with fried rice. Garnish with nori strips and/or chopped scallions.
To get the best fluffy fried rice use one-day-old cold rice.
Putting apple cider vinegar on the greens makes their calcium easier to absorb in addition to aiding digestion.
Instead of sesame oil, try coconut oil or peanut oil, which work best at high heats, or use a good-quality vegetable oil.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 cups shredded kale (from 1 small bunch)
4 ounces zucchini (or broccoli or green beans), chopped (1 cup)
Kosher salt
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
4 teaspoons minced garlic (from 2 cloves)
2 cups cooked white rice
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 cup frozen carrots and peas, such as Green Giant
4 large eggs

Steps:

Heat a large, heavy nonstick skillet over high. Swirl in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; add kale and zucchini. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until zucchini is bright green and kale is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add rice and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; cook, stirring to break up rice, 1 minute. Stir in sesame oil and carrots and peas; season and cook 1 minute.
Make 4 wells in mixture; divide remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil among them. Crack an egg into each well; season. Reduce heat to medium and cook until whites begin to set, about 3 minutes. Cover, turn off heat, and let stand until whites are set but yolks are still soft, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Use day-old rice: This will help the rice stay fluffy and separate when fried.
Chop your vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
Use high heat: This will help the rice and vegetables cook quickly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
Don't overcrowd the wok: Cook the rice and vegetables in batches if necessary.
Season to taste: Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately: Fried rice is best served hot and fresh.
