Cookbook:Fried Rice

Cookbook | Meat Recipes | Recipe Index

This is a simple fried rice dish that works well as an everyday meal.

Ingredients

• lots of rice
• water
• cooked bacon, ham, pork, shrimp, or chicken
• bean sprouts
• egg
• soy sauce
• oil
• celery or bok choy

Procedure

1. Cook rice as you normally would, but skimp on the water. The rice should not be sticky or crunchy.
2. Wash the bean sprouts. Discard any that are not white and crunchy.
3. If using bok choy, separate the stalk part from the leaf part. Slice the leaf part crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick strips, then tear the strips into 2-inch pieces. These pieces will be treated much like the bean sprouts, though perhaps with slightly more cooking. The stalk part will be treated as celery.
4. Slice the celery or bok choy stalk crosswise into thin pieces.
5. Add a generous amount of oil to a large frying pan, more than you think you'd need to avoid sticking.
6. Add the rice. Do remember that this dish is fried rice; the other ingredients are to be used in relatively small quantities.
7. Add the soy sauce, meat, celery, and eggs. If using pre-scrambled eggs, simply add them. If using raw eggs, clear a spot in the middle of your pan and scramble the eggs there now.
8. Add the easily-overcooked bean sprouts and, optionally, bok choy leaves.
