Title: Brain's Stir Fried Rice
Categories: Rice Chinese
Yield: 1 Servings
3/4 | c | Small shrimp |
3/4 | c | Roasted pork or ham (or crab |
Or chicken) | ||
2 | Eggs (beaten) | |
1/4 | c | Green peas |
2 | tb | Chopped green onions |
6 | c | Cold, cooked rice |
2 | ts | Salt |
8 | tb | Oil |
Cook the rice beforehand. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in pan. Pour in the beaten egg and stir fry quickly until eggs are in tiny pieces. One "trick" that I learned is to scramble the eggs with a wooden fork or chopsticks quickly as they cook to ensure that they end up in tiny pieces. The size of the egg pieces is the complaint that I have heard most. Remove egg from pan. Heat another 3 tablespoons of oil, stir fry the shrimp and ham for a few minutes, then add the green peas. Fry for another minute and remove from pan. Heat another 3 tablespoons oil in the same frying pan, fry the onion and cooked rice and mix well. Sprinkle on the salt. Reduce heat and stir until rice is thoroughly heated, then add the cooked egg, the shrimp and ham, and the green peas. Combine well and serve on a lovely platter.

I've ever tried that tasted "authentic." Not that I'm a Chinese food
expert! From: Brian Ehret previous next
