VEGETABLE EGG FRIED RICE



Vegetable Egg Fried Rice image

Light and fluffy are words that should describe well-made fried rice. It shouldn't be weighed down with soy sauce or oil. Using eggs is the key to keeping it light. Cooking the rice right into the wet egg creates a pillowy, fluffy fried rice.

3 tablespoons cooking oil
4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups day-old rice, long grain or jasmine

1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil until a wisp of white smoke appears. Add the garlic and onion, saute 30 seconds. Add the beaten eggs and immediately add the rice, gently press down in small circles to separate the rice grains.
  • Stir in the carrot and bell pepper and cook for about 1 minute. Don't be afraid to scrape rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. Fold in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, white pepper and salt. Continue to stir and fold for about 2 more minutes. Cook until the rice absorbs the sauces and is slightly crisp on the edges.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
Kosher salt
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup chopped broccoli florets
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup thinly sliced snow peas
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon soy sauce
3 cups cold cooked long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop onto a plate.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the spinach, broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, snow peas, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg, to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Stir in the sesame oil and serve.
