Baked

If you don't have cold leftover rice around, this easy oven method will produce something very similar to the classic fried rice, with the perfect texture every time. Just like rice pilaf, the grains of rice get coated in fat before absorbing the cooking liquid, ensuring plump, tender, separate grains with no sticky clumps. Just adjust cooking time if using a different kind of rice or pan size. Garnish with green onions and serve with a runny poached egg on top if desired.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil, or to taste
3 cloves garlic, crushed
½ cup sliced green onions
½ cup diced red bell peppers
½ cup diced carrots
½ cup green peas
1 cup diced ham
1 pinch salt to taste
3 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons chile paste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place rice in a large baking dish. Drizzle in canola and sesame oils; toss to coat rice completely. Add garlic, green onions, bell peppers, carrots, peas, and ham. Season with salt. Stir until well combined.
  • Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and chile paste in a pot over high heat. Stir and bring to a boil. Pour on top of the rice and stir briefly. Cover top tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 32 minutes. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes. Uncover; fluff rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Return to the oven until rice is browned and crusted, about 10 minutes.
