Yangzhou (Yong Chow) Fried Rice



- 4 cups cooked long grain rice (leave in fridge overnight %26amp; separate the grains by pressing with fork/spoon prior to frying)

- 200g diced Chinese BBQ roast pork, sliced ham or diced luncheon meat

- 200g fresh small shrimps, peeled

- 100g cooked crab meat, shredded

- 4 eggs

- 2 to 3 stalks spring onions (scallions), diced

- 6 tbl vegetable oil (not butter)

- 1 tsp salt

- 1 tsp light soya sauce

- 1/4 tsp sugar

- 4 tbl chicken stock



1. Marinate shrimps in 1/4 tsp salt for 10-15 mins.

2. Beat eggs in bowl %26amp; add diced spring onions %26amp; 1/4 tsp salt.

3. Heat wok over high heat, add 3 tbl oil when wok is hot. When it starts to smoke, add shrimps (minced garlic is optional) %26amp; stir-fry till just red. Set aside.

4. Add remaining oil to wok. When hot, add egg mixture. Scramble briskly till well cooked.

5. Add rice %26amp; stir-fry thoroughly for 2-4 mins. Add cooked shrimps, remaining salt, soya sauce, sugar %26amp; chicken stock. Stir-fry for 4-5 mins. Add BBQ pork %26amp; stir-fry for 2 more mins, add crab meat %26amp; stir well. Enjoy!



The secret to restaurant fried rice is having the heat of the iron wok enhancing/heightening the flavor in the food, what Chinese call ';wok hei';. The wok must be heated over a really big flame and the food constantly stir-fried. The food must be promptly served %26amp; eaten to savour the fragrance at its best. Hence, the majority of home kitchens are unable to fully replicate the same taste even if they use the exact same ingredients. Western kitchens with hotplates are unsuitable to produce Chinese stir-fries and even most Chinese home kitchens are not equipped with the powerful gas stoves that can produce the roaring flames found in restaurant kitchens.What is a good fried rice recipy?
INGREDIENTS

2 cups enriched white rice

4 cups water

2/3 cup chopped baby carrots

1/2 cup frozen green peas

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 eggs

soy sauce to taste

sesame oil, to taste (optional)









DIRECTIONS

In a saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

In a small saucepan, boil carrots in water about 3 to 5 minutes. Drop peas into boiling water, and drain.

Heat wok over high heat. Pour in oil, then stir in carrots and peas; cook about 30 seconds. Crack in eggs, stirring quickly to scramble eggs with vegetables. Stir in cooked rice. Shake in soy sauce, and toss rice to coat. Drizzle with sesame oil, and toss again.
You can buy packets of Fried Shallots in the supermarket. These are great as a garnish on Fried Rice and other dishes.



I would use peanut oil with a dash of sesame oil instead of olive oil.



Also, don't forget the chilli - fresh is best.
Take some rice, fry it

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I used to work in a chinese restaurant and the fried rice was made with leftover rice.

The best fried rice I've had from home was easy on the soy sauce and had a secret ingredient...oyster sauce. It adds a rich, beefy taste. You can add the green or regular onions, egg, carrots, peas and meat as you like. A drop of sesame oil is good, too.

It's worth investing in a bottle of the sauce if you cook a lot of rice or do a lot of chinese cooking.
You need oil--like authentic chinese peanut oil or sesame oil. You can also use bacon fat. But not butter or olive oil, that I know of. Cold leftover rice makes the best fried rice.
Do not use butter. Unless you really like it. Can you put butter on after your done cooking.



It is very easy! That huge pan is perfect.



Microwave your veggie for a few seconds.



Minced for garlic or smash it.



Diced your whole onion. Stir fried until golden.



Scramble your eggs (4).



Add your rice. Might need a little water, because it is dried . Stir until it is soft not burned and warm and hot. Add you veggie, salt and pepper and a few drop of so ya.



Or Next time skip the part where ';you and put the rice in the fridge for a day (so it would dry out a little)';



Next time when you order Roast Pork Fried Rice, ask for no so ya sauce. And order steamed or fresh rice for your order. More egg and scallions
