Main ingredient: rice
Pairs well with: fried rice, spring rolls, bok choy, hot and sour soup
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, cooked, then dried out in the refrigerator for at least one day (about 3 cups of cooked rice)
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger, chopped
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, or raw
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp msg
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Method
- Cook the jasmine rice, spread it uncovered on a sheet tray, and refrigerate it for 24 to 48 hours until the grains have dried out.
- Heat the neutral oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat and stir-fry the scallion whites, garlic and ginger for about 15 seconds. Raise the heat to high, add the mixed vegetables, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until they are cooked through.
- Push the vegetables to one side, add another 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the bare side of the pan, and scramble the beaten eggs there until they are about 80 percent cooked.
- Add the dried rice and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until everything is combined. Season with the soy sauce, white pepper, sugar, salt and MSG and keep frying for another 1 to 2 minutes until the rice looks dry.
- Take the pan off the heat, drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the rice and scatter the scallion greens on top before serving.
