Week #14 Chinese Egg Fried Rice

Recipe week #14........This is a GREAT recipe for leftovers.......anything can be added.  It is also a great Long Term Storage recipe as you can use LT and dehydrated or canned storage.  Tim loves it when we have a Pork Loin Roast as he loves pork and knows that means Pork Fried Rice for leftovers!  Here's a cute little video on the technique of Egg Fried Rice.......enjoy!

Chinese Egg Fried Rice       (video above)

Ingredients: 

2 eggs, scrambled, cut and set aside

opt:  any leftover meats....i.e. Pork, Chicken, Shrimp, etc.

2+ C pre-cooked and refrigerated rice

1 C frozen peas

2 Tbsp chopped carrots  

2-3 green onions

small yellow onion, chopped

2 Tbsp Oil 

Oyster Sauce to taste 

2 garlic, crushed

2-3 Tbsp Soy Sauce to taste

(opt)  1 Tbsp toasted Sesame Seeds 

Salt (taste first...soy sauce is salty)

Pepper to taste

Heat oil in pan.  Saute onion, add garlic and saute another minute.  Add rice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, eggs, sesame seeds and your meat of choice.  Saute only long enough to heat.  Season to taste with salt & pepper.

Tips:  watch the amount of "Oyster" sauce you put in....we use about 1 tsp instead of what the video calls for, because; if it gets "fishy".....I'm 'outa there! We  Like the authentic flavors but watch the "color" of the rice....if it gets too dark you may have too much Oyster Sauce......if you like fishy......then by all means......dump away....just be forewarned!  In times of plenty......use fresh veggies.......if not, dehydrated is an option.  Dehydrated or canned proteins (meats) also may be used.

I  "caramelize" the pork..... cut it into 1/2" dice and then fry crisp......when you caramelize it, the flavors are intensified.....yummo!

If using dehydrated veggies or meats....rehydrate first

Remember:  cold rice.....otherwise you will get "sticky" rice.
