Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 eggs
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons chicken stock or 2 tablespoons chicken broth
peanut oil or vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups cooked rice, chilled
1/2 cup chicken stock or 1/2 cup chicken broth, mixed with 2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cups diced ham (or leftover lechon asado)
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup frozen green pea

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs with a whisk, adding soy sauce and chicken broth.
  • Heat a tablespoon or 2 of oil in a 5-quart or large saute pan or wok, rolling the oil around to coat bottom and sides.
  • When the oil is very hot, pour half of the egg mixture in so that it coats the bottom; it should look like you are making a giant pancake.
  • Decrease heat to med-low and cook thoroughly, flipping once.
  • Remove from pan and cut the egg into long, thin strips.
  • In the same pan, add a little more oil and saute the onion and green pepper over med-low heat until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Decrease heat to low and add the minced garlic; continue to cook for 1-2 minutes more; don't let the garlic brown.
  • Add in the rice and a little more oil; fry for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add in some chicken stock, enough to flavor the rice, but not enough to make it soupy.
  • Add the rest of the scrambled eggs and a dash or two of soy sauce; add in the diced lechon and stir sparingly; continue cooking 5 minutes.
  • Gently fold in the green onions, green peas, and egg strips.
  • Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for a minute or two; serve hot.

  • Cook the rice a day ahead of time and refrigerate it. This will help the rice grains stay separate when fried.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet for cooking the rice. This will help prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Make sure the wok or skillet is very hot before adding the rice. This will help create a nice crispy texture.
  • Stir the rice constantly while cooking. This will help prevent it from burning.
  • Add the vegetables, protein, and seasonings towards the end of cooking. This will help prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the fried rice immediately, garnished with green onions, cilantro, or a wedge of lime.
