Chinese Fried Rice

Since I started catering, I had to come with various version of fried rice, especially for my non-spicy capable customers. So, it is Chinese Fried Rice, this time...

The best comfort food.  Think of it - a bowl of steaming white rice cooked to just the right consistency, filled with bits of meat and vegetable. No wonder fried rice is one of the world's most popular rice dishes!

For the home cook, the beauty of fried rice is that it is very adaptable. just dump anything in, and stir, stir, stir..voila...

It is always best to use overnight leftover rice. what I do, is marinate the rice with a little salt and white pepper. This is to make sure that each grain of rice is flavoured. Stir fry minced garlic, throw in prawns and squid ( I don't like to use chicken here, to preserve the authenticity of the "seafoodness"- if it makes sense at all). But it is your choice actually.

Put in a couple of spoons of oyster sauce, fish sauce and the seasoning. Throw in the rice, and stir throw. Then add in you veges, where I would use carrots and green beans- for the colour. Then break and egg, and that is it!! Simple and just yummy, if eaten with chili pad in soya sauce.
