Basic Oriental Fried Rice - Stephen Yan

"You can then add whatever other ingredients you like. There are so many versions of fried rice it would be impossible to post them all. So, use this as your basis and add what is used in your area of the country. I personally do NOT like peas or carrots in my fried rice but, I DO like some bean sprouts, onion and meat in mine. Now that I have a rice cooker (WOO HOO!!!!) I'll be having this more often. Source: Chinese Recipes by Stephen Yan 5th Edition"

  1. wow, now i know how to make fried rice. the peanut oil is the "secret" to this recipe. thank you.
     
  2. What a wonderful recipe! I had 2 servings and packaged the rest in 2 freezer bags to have on hand when I want more. I made the basic recipe as is and may add to the leftovers when I thaw them. Very tasty and a great side dish made as is. Made for Unrated Asian Tag game.
     
  3. This was great!! I've always been "scared" to make my own fried rice, but NO MORE!! This was so good and you could add or take away anything you wanted. Thanks for this GREAT basic recipe! Made for the unrated Asian tag game.
     
  4. Very good basic recipe! I have made fried rice before but this technique was slightly different. I liked the egg preparation especially. I added ingredients for our taste including freshly ground black pepper, sesame oil, roast pork, carrots and peas. I did not have wine so I used 1/2 tsp of sherry wine vinegar instead which added very nice flavor. This recipe as most other fried rice recipes called for cold rice but I am an advocate of using freshly made warm rice which IMHO is much easier to work with. I will keep this recipe in my cookbook for future use. Thanks for sharing! Prepared for Unrated Asian Tag Game July 2009.
