Chinese Fried Rice

Chinese Fried Rice #CucinaPovera Blogevent

Pane-Bistecca
I have had little time lately, due to travel, to participate in blog events. That changes now. Therefore, and because the topic is interesting, I participate in Zorra’s from Kochtopf Blogevent Cucina Povera which is hosted by Regina from Bistroglobal. Cucina Povera is poor people’s cuisine, and it exists in every country. Since I live in Asia, I’ll take an Asian example. Here, rice is a staple!

Rice is served with all meals, even for breakfast. At the end of the week, you have a real mess of leftovers, and you just mix them into the rice and fry it up! Very simple and the best way to use leftovers. By the way, in China, fried rice is traditionally served as the 2nd last course, before dessert, not like in Europe where it is dished up right at the beginning of the meal. If you want rice with meat or vegetables, you get steamed rice.

Ingredients

My fried rice goes like this:

  • 2 cups of Chinese Rice cooked the day before and well dried out.

  • 1 cup frozen Peas

  • 1 Carrot, cut into small cubes

  • 2 Spring Onions, chopped

  • 1 cup Shrimp, peeled

  • 2 Eggs, beaten

  • 1 tbsp grated Garlic

  • 1 tsp grated Ginger

  • Salt and Pepper

  • 4 EL Sojasauce (wer den Reis hell will, sollte die helle Sojasauce verwenden)

  • 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce

  • 2 tbsp Oil

Instructions

1

Step 1

Never make fried rice with fresh rice, it’s too moist and your rice will be steamed instead of fried and turn to cardboard!

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large wok and sauté the garlic and ginger. Add the vegetables and fry well, then add the shrimp or meat (you can use chicken pieces or ham or the typical Chinese dry sausage).

Step 3

Now add the rice by the spoonful and mix in, season well. Fry everything well. Then make a gap in the middle of the wok and put the beaten eggs in there and mix and fry like a scrambled egg. Then add the soy sauce and oyster sauce and mix everything well. Serve hot immediately.

Notes

– NEVER use freshly cooked rice!
– Use a large wok so that you can mix well!
– Heat the oil well in the wok, then add the ingredients!
– Keep mixing and turning the rice while frying.
– Do not mix too much soy sauce or oyster sauce into the rice when cooking, everyone can decide for themselves if they want to add more when eating!
