LEMON GARLIC FRIED RICE AND BEANS



LEMON GARLIC FRIED RICE AND BEANS image

Categories     Bean     Stir-Fry     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy

Yield 1 bowl

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup Rice, cooked
1/3 cup Beans, cooked, any variety but I prefer black or pinto preferably not from a can
2 teaspoons Butter
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 Lemon
1 Egg (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Hot Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne (optional)
Salt

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over high heat, make sure it doesn't burn. Stir-fry rice and beans for 30 seconds then add garlic. Stir frequently allowing for around 30 seconds in between stirs to get some crispy rice on the bottom of the pan but make sure it doesn't burn. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. After around 3-4 minutes add the egg, immediately take off the heat and stir until everything is combined and the egg looks just barely moist (if you wait till the egg is completely cooked it will be overcooked by the time it hits the plate). Stir in lemon to taste and remove onto a plate. Season with paprika and salt to taste. I like to add an additional sprinkling of cayenne because I like a little more heat.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: Day-old rice is ideal for fried rice, as it has less moisture and will not clump together as easily.
  • Prepare your ingredients in advance: Chop the vegetables, mince the garlic and ginger, and whisk the eggs before you start cooking. This will help you save time and ensure that your fried rice is cooked evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help prevent the rice from sticking and will give it a nice smoky flavor.
  • Cook the rice in batches: If you are cooking a large amount of fried rice, cook it in batches to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Add the eggs last: Adding the eggs last will help prevent them from overcooking and becoming rubbery.

Conclusion:

Lemon fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With its bright and tangy flavor, this fried rice is sure to become a favorite in your household. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give lemon fried rice a try. You won't be disappointed!
