GOLDEN FRIED RICE



Golden Fried Rice image

Golden Fried Rice (huángjīn chǎofàn - 黄金炒饭) gets its name from the fact that you coat the rice in egg yolks before stir-frying.

Provided by Judy

Categories     Rice

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups cooked white rice ((refrigerated overnight))
4 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon sea salt ((or to tatse))
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine ((or dry cooking sherry))
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon turmeric ((optional))
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup choy sum stems ((or asparagus, broccoli stems, gai lan stems, etc.))
1 scallion ((finely chopped))

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the cooked white rice, egg yolks, salt, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, sesame oil, and turmeric (if using). Mix until every grain of rice is well-coated. There should be no lumps or chunks of rice.
  • Preheat a wok over high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the oil, and swirl it around the perimeter of the wok.
  • Add the rice, and stir-fry continuously for 1-2 minutes. Add the vegetables, and continue stir-frying. Once the rice grains are dry and start to pop around in the wok, taste and add an additional pinch of salt if needed. (A pinch of extra salt really brings out the flavor of this golden fried rice.) Stir in the scallions, and serve immediately.

KIMCHI FRIED RICE



Kimchi Fried Rice image

Not the high-heat stir-fry you might expect, Grace Lee's home-style fried-rice recipe uses a simple technique - make an easy, flavorful kimchi sauce, mellowed out with butter, and sauté leftover rice in it. It's perfect for a snack or a quick, simple meal. The Spam, though optional, reflects many Koreans' love of foods introduced by the American military.

Provided by Francis Lam

Categories     main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 small onion, medium dice
1 cup roughly chopped kimchi (6 ounces)
2 tablespoons kimchi juice, or to taste
1/2 cup small-dice Spam, ham or leftover cooked meat
2 cups cooked, cooled rice (preferably short-grain)
2 teaspoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon sesame oil, or to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
Salt to taste
Crumbled or slivered nori (roasted seaweed) for garnish
Sesame seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • In a nonstick sauté pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat, and add onions. Cook, stirring, until the onions start to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add kimchi and kimchi juice, and stir until it comes to a boil, about 3 minutes. Add Spam, and cook until sauce is nearly dried out, about 5 minutes.
  • Break up the rice in the pan with a spatula, and stir it to incorporate. Turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until the rice has absorbed the sauce and is very hot, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Taste, and adjust with more soy sauce, sesame oil or kimchi juice. Turn heat down slightly, but let the rice continue to cook, untouched, to lightly brown while you cook the eggs.
  • Place a small nonstick sauté pan over medium heat, and add the vegetable oil. When it is hot, add eggs, season with salt and fry to your desired doneness. Serve rice topped with fried eggs, nori and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

KOREAN FRIED RICE



Korean fried rice image

Looking for a simple rice dish with a bit of spice? Our Korean fried rice has beautifully seasoned steak strips and shredded cabbage for extra crunch

Provided by Charlie Clapp

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

250g white basmati rice
2 x frying steaks (approx 200g/7oz), sliced into strips
3 tbsp chilli sauce (such as sriracha), plus extra to serve
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 garlic cloves , finely sliced
6 spring onions , finely sliced
1-2 red chillies , finely sliced
½ large Savoy cabbage , shredded
2 tbsp sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Cook the rice following pack instructions. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the steak strips with the chilli sauce to marinate.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat and stir-fry the meat for 2 mins until beginning to colour. Don't be tempted to overcook the steak at this stage as you want it slightly pink in the centre. Once done, set aside on a plate.
  • Add the garlic and most of the spring onions and chillies to the pan, reserving some to serve, and continue to stir-fry for 2 mins. Add the cabbage and cook gently for 10-12 mins until beginning to soften.
  • Return the rice and steak to the pan and mix everything together until well combined. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds, the reserved spring onions and chillies, and drizzle over more chilli sauce to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your fried rice. Use fresh vegetables, high-quality soy sauce, and sesame oil, and avoid using pre-cooked rice.
  • Cook the rice correctly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight chew to it. If the rice is overcooked, it will become mushy and the fried rice will not be as good.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will also impart a smoky flavor to the fried rice.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: When stir-frying the rice, make sure not to overcrowd the wok. If the wok is too crowded, the rice will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add the ingredients to the wok is important. The vegetables should be added first, followed by the meat or seafood, and then the rice. This will ensure that the vegetables are cooked properly and that the rice does not become mushy.
  • Season to taste: Once the fried rice is cooked, season it to taste with soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt and pepper. Be careful not to over-season the rice, as it can easily become too salty.
