Fried Rice?

Fried rice, have you had or made fried rice? ItÂs always just a side dish, never the center of attention on the dinner table. Just like a stepchild, Cinderella gets no respect, no admiration.

Four Season(ings) fried rice:

First fry plain rice and divide into four batches, then season with:

1. Egg fried rice. First batch.

2. Cilantro, second batch.

3. Red pepper, third batch.

4. Dark soy and pork.

Garnish the whole plate with paper thin Chinese sausage (Lap Cheong).

Will Cinderella be ready for the Ball? :-)

I just made fried rice yesterday...But it wasn't as purty as yours!

Started with chopped bacon, tossed in fresh garlic, leeks, baby carrots sliced and ginger.

Then added some fresh cracked pepper, tamari, rice vinegar and 2 eggs...

Hubby was happy!

sauce for fried rice?

I make a thin omelet first by spreading beaten egg around the oiled wok. The omelet is cut into small pieces and added later with other ingredients. Thinly shredded iceberg lettuce is a good substitute for bean sprouts. In fact, I like it better. Stir it into the rice near the end of cooking. You won't be aware that you are eating lettuce but the fried rice will have a nice freshness and lightness. Jim

OK guys, thanks. I'm going with 5 eggs. No peas...I don't "do" peas. I do have a box of pea pods in the freezer though so I'll cut those in thirds & toss in. I've already prepped everything else...carrots are very small, I lightly chopped the sprouts just so they weren't 4" long, onions are small, bok choy is thin & on a diagnonal, chicken is sliced & ready to cook, ginger is out of the freezer w/my microplane (thanks, I wouldn't have used that), don't have any mirin, & no Shao Hsing wine either. I'm going to use soy sauce 'cause I think those eating this are going to expect it but I'll go with 1/4 cup soy & 1/4 cup oyster sauces...taste & if it needs more I can always add. This isn't going to fit in my wok...have to do 3-4 batches. With my meds I'll need to rest between batches & I need to have this there at 5:00 p.m. so I'd best get cooking! Sure glad it's all prepped!! Thanks again. /tricia

I've made a friend's main dish fried rice several times. It's so good I wonder why I don't make it more often. Leftover plain rice from a Chinese restaurant is perfect for this. There aren't any measurements and I've probably never made it exactly the same way twice.

The ingredients are bacon, onions, green bell pepper, garlic, green onions, cooked rice that has sat on the stove for several hours, beaten egg and water, lots of shrimp, frozen peas and soy sauce.
