Five Ingredient Fried Rice Recipes

FIVE-INGREDIENT FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In large covered pot, heat rice and chicken broth to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover, and cook 35 to 40 minutes or until rice has absorbed all of the broth.
• Heat large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. If not nonstick, add 2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil. Cook eggs in wok until set but still a bit runny. Transfer to bowl; season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside. In same wok, cook sausage, breaking up with wooden spoon. If wok is dry (this shouldn't be the case if you're using full-fat sausage), add 1 tablespoon oil, and then fold in hot rice, eggs and frozen peas. Spread evenly around wok, and cook 3 to 5 minutes. Continue to cook a few more minutes, folding, so peas cook through and everything blends together. Taste and adjust season-ings as desired.

FRIED RICE WITH EGG

Steps:

• At least 1 day before you plan to make the fried rice, place the rinsed rice in a heavy, medium-sized saucepan. Add 2 cups of cold water and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, and cook at a gentle boil until the water has cooked down to the level of the rice. With a spoon (not a fork), stir the rice well. Cover, and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork. Cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for 24 hours.
• Break up any clumps of the cold rice with your fingers and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the oyster sauce and soy sauce and set aside.
• Coat a large, nonstick skillet with nonstick vegetable spray and set over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the eggs, swirling them around to make sure they coat the whole bottom of the pan. Cook, without stirring, and adjusting the heat as necessary, until the eggs are firm and cooked through but not yet starting to brown, lifting the skillet and tilting it so that the eggs cook evenly. Slide the eggs onto a plate and when they have cooled, cut into small pieces and set aside.
• Return the skillet to the burner and heat the oil over high heat. When it is hot, add the peas and scallions, and cook, stirring constantly, until the scallions are limp, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, sauce mixture, eggs and roast pork until well mixed. Continue to cook, stirring, until the rice is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Plate and drizzle with sesame oil, to taste.

VEGETABLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Stir in rice. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add onions, bell pepper, garlic and pepper flakes, to taste. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Increase heat to medium-high and stir in cooked rice, green onions and soy sauce. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add peas and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Add sesame oil and mix well. Garnish with peanuts, if desired.

STIR-FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add eggs; cook until set, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet.
• Add broth, vegetables and soy sauce to skillet; bring to boil. Stir in rice; cover. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.

BROWN FRIED RICE - FIVE TREASURE

Steps:

• Heat all but 1 tsp of the oil in a large non-stick skillet or stir-fry pan over medium heat.
• Add the broccoli stems, carrots and bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften, 3-5 minutes.
• Add the edamame and corn and cook until the edamame is thawed, about 1 minute.
• Add the scallion, ginger, and garlic and cook, stirring, until the raw garlic aroma subsides, about 1 minute.
• Add the cold rice and bacon and cook, stirring until heated through 3- 5 minutes.
• Make a 3 inch well in the center of the rice mixture.
• Add the remaining 1 tsp of oil, then the eggs, and cook, stirring until the eggs are almost fully scrambled.
