Description

A bowl of quick and easy fried rice is an absolute treat for lunch or dinner. It uses one pan and gets ready in less than 15 minutes. You can also use fresh or frozen vegetables and ready-to-use Asian sauces.

Ingredients 

  • 4 cups (800 g) Rice, cooked and chilled (1 cup raw rice cooked and chilled overnight)
  • 2 tbsp Canola oil
  • 2 tbsp Butter unsalted,
  • 1 tbsp Garlic chopped finely
  • 1 tbsp Ginger chopped finely
  • ½ cup Onions diced
  • ½ cup (60 g) Carrots diced into 1/4 inch cubes
  • ½ cup (75 g) Green peas
  • ½ cup (120 g) Cooked meat sliced, chicken, sausages, or sliced meat
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro or parsley chopped
  • 4 tbsp Green onions Chopped
  • ¼ tsp Salt (use less if using regular soy sauce)
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Chily sauce
  • 1 tbsp Ketchup optional

Instructions

  • In a wok or skillet, over medium-high heat, add the oil, ginger, and garlic. Saute for 30 seconds then add the onions and saute until translucent. Next, add the chopped carrots and green peas. Cook until the carrots and green peas are almost cooked.
    Pro tip - Make sure the carrots and peas are tender before you add the remaining ingredients. Otherwise, you will overcook the rice.
  • Move the veggies towards the sides in the pan making space in the center. Add the butter and break the eggs, scramble them in the center until almost set. Then, mix the eggs with the veggies.
  • Next, add the sauces (soy, oyster, ketchup, chili sauce, and sesame oil). Season with salt and pepper.
    Pro tip - Turn the heat to medium so you do not overcook the eggs.
  • Next, add the chopped cooked meat, cooked rice, and cilantro. Toss everything well together on high heat with a flat spatula until everything is well combined.
    Pro tip - You want the sauce to coat the rice and get slightly colored. So, make sure to combine well. It is ok for the rice to get a slightly toasted appearance.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more salt and pepper or soy sauce as per your taste. Garnish with green onions or more fresh cilantro or parsley.
