Pasta Sauce Fried Rice

Today, I had just created a new version of 

Fried Rice recipe with Pasta Sauce.

This is a regular fried rice that you had any other day but the 

difference is the seasoning used which had added extra 

flavor to this dish.

Normally, we use pasta tomato sauce / paste for spaghetti or 

pasta recipes.

Now, you can add in 2 tbsp of pasta sauce into your fried rice

 without any seasoning.

I had bought 2 jars of Prego Pasta Tomato sauce which were

 on sale, decided to try it out today for a change and 

surprisingly, it turned out GREAT!

 

If you have left over pasta sauce from your spaghetti meal,

 do not discard the sauce.

Chill in the fridge with overnight white rice.

If you like meat in your fried rice, you can add in burger 

patty of your choice, hotdog or left-over fried chicken.

As for the vegetable, grab whatever you have in the fridge.

You can add in mixed vegetables, chives, mustard greens,

 carrot sticks, cabbages or spring onions.

I had used butter instead of cooking oil for a healthier fried

 rice version.

You can use olive oil or canola oil .

 

Here is today’s Pasta Sauce Fried Rice

Ingredients:

3 cups cold cooked overnight rice

2 tbs of Pasta sauce

1 piece of chicken burger patty ( optional)- cut into squares

 

1 egg-beaten

2 tbsp of butter

pepper to taste

(No need salt)

 

Method of cooking:

1. Heat up wok with 2 tbsp of butter.

2. Saute garlic and onion until fragrant.

3. Add in carrot sticks and chives. 

Stir fry for a couple of minutes

Why overnight rice makes perfect Fried Rice

Fried rice is one of the staple food in Asian countries that

 one has to consume it daily, whether white rice or fried rice

.

It is a popular meal for lunch, dinner and take-away.

 

To cook a simple fried rice recipe is easy that even Tom,

 Dick or Harry could do it but to have a perfect fried rice lies 

on the white rice itself.

 

Here are 2 simple reasons why overnight white rice is 

important.

1. Loose and cold rice

Just cooked, hot rice is wet, damp and sticky.

Even though you may have left it under the spinning fan,

 fanning off the heat, the rice is still sticky by nature.

If you leave rice in the fridge overnight, it becomes cold, 

loose and dried up the excess water.

Hence, it is easier to loosen the rice that doesn’t make a 

soggy , sticky fried rice.

 

 

2. Firm texture.

Overnight rice gives a firm texture and chewy bites.

 

Have a nice meal!

    • @peachpurple With so many recipes I am sure you can write a recipe book. Are you trying that?
      I have not tasted pasta sauce and so not used it in any of my recipes. With an expert cook like you I am sure it will taste good in the form you have used.

    • It seems so delicious to put some tomato paste in fried rice. I also had eaten and tried so many ways of cooking fried rice. But I never thought it is possible to use pasta sauces. I will try to have some fried rice with the special secrets you have shared.

    • Yes, its is delicious soup but I have not drunk it still in my own country I will try in my country to find it soon just for taste sake as you have written becomes very tasty.

      This is good for a basic recipe, but I'd recommend adding all the leftover soft-cooked veggies in your fridge. It uses up leftovers and adds depth to the flavor of the fried rice. Oh, and add any leftover meat, shredded or diced, to make it a whole meal

      Tomato fried rice with sausage has a rich tomato base that is slightly sweet and goes great with the sausage and rice. The first thing to do – slice the sunny egg so the yolk mingles with the appetizing sweet-sour rice. A taste of happiness!

      Have you ever served fried rice for breakfast or brunch? If you think it’s a bit strange to serve rice for breakfast, I’d like to introduce this dish to you.

      This fried rice recipe contains almost every breakfast item I love – a sunny-side-up egg, sausage, tomato, and beans! By the way, if you’re feeling fancy, you can add a slice of cheese to the just out-of-the-wok rice, and then place the egg on top of the cheese. The cheese will melt into the rice and make the dish even more heavenly!
