Fried Rice From Every Day With Rachael Ray Mag Recipes

SPECIAL FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover and cook over medium low heat until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Spread rice out on a cookie sheet to quick cool it.
• Heat a wok, wok shaped skillet or large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add oil to the pan. Add egg to hot oil and break into small bits as it scrambles. When eggs are scrambled, add garlic and ginger to the pan. Add carrots, pepper, scallions to the pan and quick stir-fry veggies 2 minutes. Add rice to the pan and combine with veggies. Fry rice with veggies 2 or 3 minutes. Add peas and soy sauce to the rice and stir fry 1 minute more, then serve.

LATIN-STYLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat and coat with cooking spray. Pour the egg substitute into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom, and let cook until set, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the egg "tortilla" to a cutting board and roll up the egg "tortilla" and slice crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips.
• Remove chorizo from casing and break sausage into small pieces.
• In a large skillet over medium high heat and well coated with cooking spray, add the chorizo, tofu, onion and garlic and saute, until the onions are soft and chorizo is cooked.
• Add the white wine and let reduce then add cooked rice.
• Add the soy sauce gradually according to your tastes and the strength of the brand of soy sauce. You may not need the entire 1/4 cup.
• Add the green peas or edamame.
• Cook until heated through. Stir in the egg strips and top with cilantro and season with salt, pepper and a sprinkle of lemon juice to taste.

SUMMER SPECIAL SHRIMP AND FRUIT FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the onions, and cook until just set; set aside. Increase the heat to high, and pour another 1 teaspoon of oil to the wok. Stir in the shrimp, and cook until the shrimp turn pink, and are no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes; set aside.
• Wipe out the wok, and heat the remaining teaspoon of oil over high heat. Stir in the ginger, and cook quickly for a few seconds until the ginger begins to turn golden brown. Stir in the onion and chile peppers; cook for a minute or two until the onions begin to soften and turn brown around the edges. Add the pineapple and oranges, and gently cook until the pineapple is hot.
• Stir in the rice, walnuts, and soy sauce. Stir for a few minutes until the rice is hot. Fold in the egg, shrimp, and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook to reheat.
