Chinese Fried Rice is a famous local cuisine that you can dump in any ingredients that you can find in your fridge, that is what my mother said.
Whenever she is lazy to cook lunch or dinner, Chinese Fried Rice is her quickest and easiest way out to satisfy our hunger pangs.
If you are not keen in cooking 1-2 hours in the kitchen, you should try my Mom’s Chinese Fried Rice for a change.
The secret to this old timer recipe is using cooked overnight cold rice. Just cook extra white rice for dinner, keep the remainder rice in a tupperware and chill in the fridge.
You see, overnight cold rice is loose and brittle compare to freshly cooked rice which is warm and wet.
In order to cook Fried Rice, you will need dried up cooked rice. Warm rice which contains water would make your fried rice sticky and yucky. It would taste like a fried oatmeal.
Now the most common vegetables used in CHinese Fried Rice is “Mixed Vegetables” where you can buy from the supermarket. It comes in a big bag, a mixture of frozen green peas, carrot cubes and corn kernels. These veggies are packed with fibre and nutrients but if you prefer fresh veggies, you could opt for :
Now this is optional. If you are on the vegetarian diet, exclude meats from this rice recipe. You can replace them with dried Chinese black mushrooms or slices of button mushrooms.
If you want more meat in your Fried Rice, you could marinate light soy sauce and pepper into :
Shrimps
Tiger prawns
Chicken Fillets
Pork Strips
Fish fillets
Alternatively, you could add in slices of hotdogs or luncheon meats that my son loved best!
The secret to Fried Rice Seasoning is simple; Light Soy sauce , salt and pepper!
You can buy those pre-packed fried rice seasoning sold in supermarket but I wouldn’t recommend that because those are high in salt and MSG.
At least, you could control your salt intake at home, right?
Tips:
You can serve complimentary scrambled eggs, sambal sauce, chillie sauce whichever you preferred.
