CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS



Chinese Fried Rice With Shrimp and Peas image

This is a more subdued version of fried rice than the spicier Thai fried rice. It's a great dish to make if you have cooked rice on hand and a great vehicle for whatever vegetables may be in your refrigerator. Feel free to add other cooked vegetables, meat or seafood.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut in 3/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon dry sherry
5 to 6 cups cooked and cooled basmati or long-grain rice
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1/2 cup cooked fresh or thawed frozen peas
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Beat one of the eggs in a small bowl and salt lightly. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a small nonstick frying pan, and add the beaten egg. Swirl in the pan until the egg forms an even coat, like a thin pancake. When the egg is cooked through, roll up and slide onto a plate. Cut in thin strips (you can use a scissors or a knife). Set aside.
  • Heat a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the remaining oil and swirl around the pan, then add the shrimp and cook about one minute, stirring and tossing with a spatula or wok scoop until just about cooked through and pink. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sherry, and stir everything together. When the sizzling stops, pour in the remaining beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, and add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Stir in white and lighter green parts of the scallions, the peas and the soy sauce. Stir together for about half a minute, and transfer to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle the egg strips, scallion greens and cilantro over the top. Serve hot.

FRIED RICE WITH CILANTRO AND PEAS



Fried Rice with Cilantro and Peas image

Categories     Herb     Rice     Side     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Oscars     Back to School     Dinner     Winter     Potluck     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup fresh cilantro sprigs
4 scallions
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cups chilled cooked white rice (see note above)
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce such as Kikkoman
1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Chop cilantro and thinly slice scallions. In a large nonstick skillet cook cumin seeds in oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice and fry, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add vinegar and soy sauce, stirring to coat rice, and stir-fry until liquid is evaporated. Stir in cilantro, scallions, and peas and stir-fry until heated through, about 2 minutes, seasoning with salt if necessary.

Tips:

  • Cook the rice a day ahead: Day-old rice is best for fried rice because it's less sticky and easier to separate. If you're using fresh rice, cook it according to the package directions, then spread it out on a baking sheet and let it cool completely.
  • Use a wok or large skillet: A wok is the traditional Chinese cooking vessel for fried rice, but a large skillet will also work. Make sure it's big enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably.
  • Heat the wok or skillet over high heat: This will help to create the signature wok hei, or "breath of the wok," which is a smoky, slightly charred flavor that's characteristic of Chinese stir-fries.
  • Add the ingredients in stages: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet. Add the ingredients in stages, starting with the vegetables and then adding the rice and other ingredients.
  • Use a spatula to toss the rice: A spatula is the best tool for tossing the rice and preventing it from sticking to the wok or skillet.
  • Season the fried rice to taste: Add soy sauce, fish sauce, or other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of Sriracha for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Fried rice is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover rice, and it's also a quick and easy meal to make. With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious fried rice at home.
