FRIED RICE WITH EGG



Fried Rice with Egg image

It's simple to change this dish by adding two cups of cooked diced shrimp or chicken instead of egg, says Wilson. If you have a Chinese grocery store where you live, you can sometimes get a nice piece of seasoned and cooked roast pork, already cut into little pieces, and then you can have "roast pork and fried rice," which he knows is a real American favorite.

Time P1DT35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups long-grain converted white rice, rinsed
Salt
1/4 cup oyster sauce
2 tablespoons light Japanese soy sauce
3 large eggs, beaten until just blended
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 cup frozen baby peas, thawed
2 or 3 scallions, thinly sliced, including some of the green tops, 1/3 to 1/2 cup
2 cups diced store bought roast pork, optional
Sesame oil, as needed

Steps:

  • At least 1 day before you plan to make the fried rice, place the rinsed rice in a heavy, medium-sized saucepan. Add 2 cups of cold water and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, and cook at a gentle boil until the water has cooked down to the level of the rice. With a spoon (not a fork), stir the rice well. Cover, and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork. Cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for 24 hours.
  • Break up any clumps of the cold rice with your fingers and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the oyster sauce and soy sauce and set aside.
  • Coat a large, nonstick skillet with nonstick vegetable spray and set over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the eggs, swirling them around to make sure they coat the whole bottom of the pan. Cook, without stirring, and adjusting the heat as necessary, until the eggs are firm and cooked through but not yet starting to brown, lifting the skillet and tilting it so that the eggs cook evenly. Slide the eggs onto a plate and when they have cooled, cut into small pieces and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to the burner and heat the oil over high heat. When it is hot, add the peas and scallions, and cook, stirring constantly, until the scallions are limp, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, sauce mixture, eggs and roast pork until well mixed. Continue to cook, stirring, until the rice is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Plate and drizzle with sesame oil, to taste.

KITTENCAL'S BEST CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH EGG

The secret to the best Chinese fried rice is onions, garlic and sesame oil, you may add in cooked chicken, beef, pork or shrimp, also you may add in some frozen thawed peas or fresh sauteed or canned mushrooms, whatever you have handy in your fridge! --- for this recipe it is best to use slightly undercooked rice that is more firm that soft the best recipe is the firm option on my recipe#350260 the amount of egg does not matter, if you like lots of egg then use as many eggs as desired, if you like a little heat then add in some cayenne pepper, I most always do you and you will probably need to adjust the soy sauce to your liking --- you will love this rice!

SHRIMP AND EGG FRIED RICE



Shrimp and Egg Fried Rice image

This fried rice is a favorite of Hubby's and also was well-received by guests. It's easy to whip up quickly if you need to. I try to use the minimal amount of meat needed to give it good flavor to the whole dish when I make it just for the two of us. You may want to increase to 1/2 lb shrimp if serving to guests. Hubby actually prefers this using 1/2 lb pork in place of the shrimp, but this is healthier. Sometimes I sub fake crab for the shrimp. It ends up a little sweeter but still good. Scallops are also a delicious option.

Provided by Demandy

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 green onions, sliced
1 small white onion, diced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon Chinese five spice powder
1/3 lb medium shrimp
1 garlic clove, minced
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 cups cooked brown rice or 2 cups cooked white rice
1/2 cup bean sprouts (optional)
1/3 cup carrot, shreds (optional)
1 diced red pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • If using frozen shrimp, defrost under cold running water, then clean, de-vein, and remove tails of shrimp. If using cooked shrimp or crab, add it when the veggies are almost done.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in wok on medium high heat. When oil is hot, add shrimp and stir-fry until pink. Then remove them from wok.
  • Add garlic and white onion to wok, and after they are soft add the other veggies. You can really use just about any veggie with this.
  • When veggies are mostly done, move them to the sides of the wok, creating a hole of bare pan on the bottom. Pour in beaten egg. Let it scramble a bit and break it into smaller pieces.
  • Add rice to the wok, and return shrimp to the wok. Add the green onions, and the five spice powder and soy sauce to taste. Add 1 tablespoon more oil to the rice. Stir to fry the rice and combine the seasonings. Add vegetable oil if you need more oil.

SHRIMP AND EGG FRIED RICE WITH NAPA CABBAGE - TYLER FLORENCE



Shrimp and Egg Fried Rice With Napa Cabbage - Tyler Florence image

This is soooo good! I have made this 3 or 4 times now, so have adjusted it to our liking. I use 1 lb. of shrimp instead of the 1/2 lb, and green onion instead of the shallots. You can use green cabbage or Bok Choy instead of the Napa cabbage if you can't find it. Use your imagination, I have added diced red pepper, bean sprouts (at the end for some crunch.) If snap peas or snow peas are in season, I use them instead of the peas. I think some chopped cashews on top instead of the peanuts would be good as well. This is from Food Network, Tyler Florence. Hope you enjoy!

EGG FRIED RICE - EASY!



Egg Fried Rice - Easy! image

Another from the BBC's Chinese Food Made Easy. This is the first successful egg fried rice I've ever cooked. Easy, quick and tasy. Serves four as a side dish. If you don't have groundnut (peanut) oil, use a clean oil, such as vegetable oil instead of olive oil, which is too strong. The white pepper is important for bringing out the flavours; don't be tempted to replace with the trendier black pepper, because it will add another flavour, rather than enhancing the existing ones.

Continue to cook over med-high heat and stir occasionally. (Here is where I would add veggies if you want them.) After about 5-8 minutes add soy sauce turn the heat down and mix well. Cook for another few minutes to heat through.
  • I sample the rice throughout the cooking process to make sure it isn't getting crispy and that I have seasoned it enough. You may need to adjust your heat if your rice starts to get crunchy.
  • If you do not have leftover rice, you can cook some up and put it on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 10-20 minutes -- works great!

TUNA FRIED RICE WITH EGG



Tuna Fried Rice With Egg image

This recipe is from Family Fun magazine which says this recipe is "not quite authentic, but very, very good." If cut-up broccoli is available at your salad bar, preparation time is even faster. Next time, I'm going to try broccolini. I also add more tuna, if I have it.

Tips for Making the Best Egg Fried Rice:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your rice, eggs, and vegetables, the better your fried rice will be.
  • Cook your rice ahead of time: Cold, leftover rice is best for fried rice because it will not clump together as easily as freshly cooked rice.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Heat your wok or skillet over high heat: High heat is essential for getting that perfect wok hei, or "breath of the wok." This will give your fried rice a smoky, slightly charred flavor.
  • Add the eggs first: Adding the eggs first will help to create a thin layer of egg around the rice, which will prevent it from sticking together.
  • Stir-fry the rice constantly: Stir-frying the rice constantly will help to prevent it from burning and will also help to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: Adding the vegetables towards the end of cooking will help to preserve their crunch and flavor.
  • Season to taste: Season your fried rice to taste with soy sauce, fish sauce, and white pepper.

Conclusion:

Egg fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make the best egg fried rice that you've ever tasted. So what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
