Best Authentic Fried Rice Recipes
AUTHENTIC CHINESE FRIED RICE
I know...you say another fried rice recipe. No matter how many recipes you come across here at Zaar, this one is the best, I assure you. What makes it the best, you ask? That it is EXACTLY down to the peas and carrots what you get at the China Buffet. It looks like it, smells like it, and best of all, tastes like it because a little old Chinese lady gave me the recipe and actually showed me in her kitchen how to do it. I will say that the amount of soy sauce, peas, carrots, and onion is to your liking, but this is my favorite way to fix it. A note about soy sauce: there are imitation soy sauces on the market. YES, that's what I said, believe it or not. Alton Brown, my fave chef, brought it to my attention on his show, GOOD EATS, and I went directly to the fridge and I had the fake stuff. I tossed it IMMEDIATELY! The real stuff is actually brewed soy beans and the fake stuff is some kinda vegetable protein and caramel color junk. The cheap stuff is usually the real stuff. Get that, or when you add heat, the cheap stuff loses it's flavor.

Steps:
- In a small pot, bring the water to a boil and then stir in rice. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and set aside.
- In a large skillet, place 2 tablespoons of oil to get hot over med-high heat. Scramble egg, stir-frying the heck outta that sucker to make sure it's good and broken up. Put it into your serving bowl for holding.
- Put the other 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet and fry the onion until almost transparent.
- Add the peas and carrots, stir-frying those to thaw. Heat thoroughly.
- By this time, the rice should be ready; pour it into the skillet and add the egg. Pour in the soy sauce as well.
- With a quick hand, toss ingredients over med-high heat and stir quickly. "Fry" the rice until all the soy sauce is distributed and the color and strength is to your liking.
- Dish this stuff up and serve it with your favorite other Chinese dishes or just do what I do and make a meal outta this stuff!

AUTHENTIC FRIED RICE
This is a recipe that I've modified a little, from the WeiChaun cookbook: Thai Cooking Made Easy. The secret, is using left over rice, that you cooked the day before. This gives the desired texture, so often missing from other recipes. You can use whatever meat you want, but I often leave the meat out, completely. I always serve this with Bourbon Chicken (recipe # 45809) also from this site. Gives it an extra kick!
