SHEET PAN FRIED RICE

Baking the rice on a sheet pan guarantees more of the crispy, crunchy bits that make fried rice the perfect food. For this recipe, the older and drier the rice the better. If you must start with freshly cooked grains, spread them out on a sheet pan to dry out in the refrigerator first.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups cooked rice (preferably leftover and slightly dry)
5 scallions, white and dark green parts separated, thinly sliced
2 large carrots, peeled and grated using the large holes on a box grater
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 large eggs, beaten to blend
3/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
Toasted sesame seeds and sriracha, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
  • Toss together the rice, white and light green parts of the sliced scallions, carrots, peas, garlic, ginger, vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil in a large bowl until the rice is completely coated. Spread on a sheet pan and bake until the rice begins to toast on the outer edges, about 15 minutes. Toss the rice on the sheet pan using a metal spatula, scraping up any stuck-on pieces. Drizzle the eggs over the rice and nestle in the shrimp. Continue baking until the shrimp and eggs are cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Top with the sesame seeds and reserved dark green scallions and divide among 4 plates. Serve with sriracha on the side.

Remove the foil and bake until slightly browned, another 12 to 15 minutes. Garnish with the scallions and serve with hot sauce, if desired.

BASIL AND TOMATO FRIED RICE



Basil and Tomato Fried Rice image

Summer's dynamic duo of tomato and basil make a surprising appearance in this aromatic fried rice. The tomatoes cook down slightly and become sweeter, coating the rice in their vibrant, sun-kissed juices, while basil adds a peppery perfume. This recipe is very adaptable, so make it your own. Use any tomato variety you like. Add more or less basil, or use Thai or holy basil in its place for even bolder flavors. If you want more heat, leave the seeds in the chiles. Finally, for a fresh element, serve with cucumber slices and a lime wedge on the side.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
Neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 to 2 bird's-eye chiles (or other hot chiles), deseeded and finely chopped
2 pounds firm, ripe large or cherry tomatoes (see Tip), cut into 3/4-inch wedges if using large tomatoes
5 to 6 cups cooked leftover rice, preferably jasmine
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 cups tightly packed basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Heat a large wok or 12-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, then pour in the beaten egg. Cook for 15 to 30 seconds, allowing the bottom to set slightly, before stirring and turning until just set. Break up the egg slightly, then remove from the wok and set aside.
  • Heat the wok over high. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, along with the onions, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until slightly softened. Add the garlic and bird's-eye chiles and stir for 15 to 30 seconds, until fragrant. Next, add the tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing every now and then, until the tomatoes are softened. (Reduce heat to medium-high if it starts getting too smoky or the garlic begins to scorch.)
  • Add the rice, soy sauce and half the basil, and season with 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt, to taste. Reduce heat to medium-high and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes, allowing the rice to soak up the tomato juices. As the liquid cooks off, the rice will char (though less so if using a nonstick pan) and develop some smoky flavors.
  • Add the egg and remaining basil and toss for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and check seasonings, adding some black pepper and more salt if needed. Serve immediately.

SHEET PAN FRIED RICE



Sheet Pan Fried Rice image

Our restaurant favorite with crisp-tender veggie bites among salty fried rice, drizzled with a creamy Sriracha mayo. By cooking this on a sheet pan, the rice gets crispy all around the edges, which isn't so easy in a regular skillet. Plus, it makes for a fun presentation and a super easy clean up. Add cooked chicken or shrimp if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Day-Old Rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and works better for fried rice. If you don't have day-old rice, you can make fresh rice and spread it out on a baking sheet to cool and dry out slightly before using it.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When cooking the rice, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly and becoming mushy. Cook the rice in batches if necessary.
  • Use High Heat: Use high heat when cooking the rice. This will help to create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Add Aromatics First: When adding vegetables and other ingredients to the fried rice, start with the aromatics, such as garlic, onion, and ginger. This will help to build flavor in the dish.
  • Sauce It Up: Add a flavorful sauce to your fried rice. This could be a simple soy sauce mixture, a teriyaki sauce, or a hoisin sauce.
  • Top It Off: Before serving, top your fried rice with a fried egg, some chopped green onions, or a sprinkling of sesame seeds. This will add extra flavor and texture to the dish.

Conclusion:

Sheet-pan breakfast fried rice is a quick, easy, and delicious way to start your day. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a hot and healthy breakfast on the table in no time.
