Tea Smoked Braised Boar With Spam Pineapple Fried Rice Recipes

SPAM FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the Spam and bell peppers. Cook until the Spam becomes crispy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the whites of the scallions, garlic, ginger and rice. Stir together and cook until the rice begins to crisp and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pineapple, peas, soy, honey and lime juice. Stir together and continue to cook until everything comes together, another minute. Add to a platter and sprinkle over the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.
• For the spicy BBQ aioli: Quickly mix together the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, sesame oil and Asian chile sauce. Drizzle over the fried rice before digging in.

TRADITIONAL MANDARIN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a wok, add 2 tablespoons of oil and quickly soft-scramble the eggs. Remove the eggs. In the same wok, coat with oil and stir-fry garlic and ginger. Add white scallions and lapchang. Add rice and mix thoroughly. Add soy sauce, white pepper and scrambled eggs. Check for seasoning. Serve immediately.

SPICY SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• For the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with the soy sauce, Ginger-Garlic Paste, sambal and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• For the egg crepes: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon water. Set a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and coat it lightly with peanut oil. Pour in half the egg mixture and swirl the pan so the egg coats the bottom. Cook over low heat until firm, then carefully turn with a spatula and finish cooking on the other side, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer the egg crepe to a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining egg mixture. When the crepes are cool enough to handle, stack, roll and slice them into thin julienne strips. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the fried rice: Set a large wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat and swirl in 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil. Add the marinated shrimp and stir fry until slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Add the onions, celery and Ginger-Garlic Paste and stir fry until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the rice and stir fry until hot and a little crispy, about 2 minutes, breaking up the rice with a wooden spoon as you go. Fold in the peas, edamame, pineapple and bean sprouts and continue to stir fry until the vegetables heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the soy sauce and sambal. Fold in the cooked shrimp and the sliced egg crepe. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions.
• Pulse the garlic and ginger in a food processor. With the processor running, stream in the canola oil and process to a paste. (You'll need 3 tablespoons of the paste for the above recipe. Refrigerate remaining paste for up to a week.)
