Basic Fried Rice With Variations Recipes

BASIC FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice. Set aside.
• In a large skillet or wok heat oil over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil and add onion. Cook until just tender.
• Move onions off to the sides of pan to form a circle and pour egg in middle. Begin scrambling the egg, and when they begin to solidify, add the rice mixture and cook 1-2 minutes.
• Add Peas, carrots, and bean sprouts (if using). Toss to combine ingredients and heat through. Serve immediately with garnish of freshly chopped green onions.

SIMPLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• 1. Set a heavy-bottomed 12-inch nonstick or cast iron skillet over low heat while preparing meat, vegetable, garlic, and eggs. Marinate the meat in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Three to four minutes from making the fried rice, increase the heat to high and turn on the exhaust fan.
• 2. Put 1 tablespoon of oil and the onion in the skillet; stir-fry until the onion is still crisp but starts to turn brown, about 1 minute. Add the raw meat or vegetable; stir-fry until crisp-tender for vegetables or lightly browned for meat, about 1 minute. Add the cooked meat or vegetable; stir-fry until lightly browned, about 1 minute longer. (If both meat and vegetables are raw or cooked, stir-fry the meat first, giving it a little head start.) Stir in the garlic, then transfer the mixture to a plate; set aside.
• 3. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in the skillet; heat until shimmering. Add the rice; stir-fry, breaking up clumps, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add the egg; stir until scrambled, about 1 minute. Return the meat/vegetable mixture, along with the remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and the scallions, to the pan and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

EASY FRIED RICE RECIPE

• Add the rice and stir fry for a few minutes.
• Create a well in the center of the wok pan.

• Sauté for a few minutes until the veggies are soft and fragrant.
• PRO-TIP: At this stage, you can add any additional veggies or even a protein like chicken or shrimp. See the notes below for a few suggestions. [note 1]
• Move the veggies to the outside of the wok to re-create the well.
• Add the sesame oil to the middle of the pan.
• Add the beaten eggs and scramble them in the center of the pan.
• Add in the soy sauce, mirin, and rice wine vinegar.
• Add the peas, then use a large spoon or spatula to mix everything together.
• Garnish with chopped green onions

VEGAN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Cooking happens quickly, so it's helpful to have all of the ingredients prepared and ready to go. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rice. Stirring occasionally, cook until the rice is toasted and has a lightly chewy texture, about 4 minutes. Transfer rice to a plate.
• Add 2 teaspoons oil to the pan. Cook the vegetables, excluding green onion, until lightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Create a hole in the center, and pour the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and red pepper flakes directly onto the hot surface. Stir into the vegetables.
• If using ½ cup or less of JUST Egg, you should have enough room to scramble it by pushing the veggies to the side. If you would rather make an egg-heavy fried rice, transfer the veggies to a plate so that you'll have more room (JUST egg is very liquid and will spread). Add the vegan egg to the skillet/wok and cook for about 1 minute, tossing and scrambling.
• Mix the scrambled JUST Egg into the veggies. Return the rice to the pan, and add the green onion. Stir to incorporate. Taste and season with salt, pepper, or additional soy sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.
