Help me out with fried rice?

/\ peanut oil FTW

yeah.. def cook all the ingredients in the same pan. Definitely use something like ginger or garlic (i'd suggest both in reasonable amounts), but i think onion is essential too. Make sure you know what needs the most cooking and whatnot, so you can add them in an order that will result in the most thoroughly cooked ingredients...

and buy a wok. They are so fun.

This is what I do.

Use day old rice if you can, its drier and keeps if from being a big ball of mush later.

I tend to make it without veggies and meat, so just rice and egg.

But I would heat up the wok, and some oil and put in the meat. I wouldn't cook it all the way through..maybe 3/4 of the way through and then remove it and put it in a bowl to store.
I do the same with the scrambled eggs. cook them so that they are still a little runny and take them out and put them in a bowl.

You could probably cook the veggies next.

I next add the rice and start stirring that. I add a little soy sauce to it which gives it the dark color.

Add back in the eggs and the meat, and the veggies if you took them out.

and keep stiring it till eveything is finished.

I'm sure we all like different fried rice, but maybe the above will give you some ideas to try.

I kinda like frying the chicken in butter, but I always stir fry the rice in oil.

And I really don't have proper chicken stock, so cubes ftw.

Nevertheless, it seems that frying everything on the same pan is really essential, and as Berger pointed out, you can still fry the ingredients separately at first.

Thanks for all the tips guys

I've found that opening a can/box of stock is a PITA if you only want a small amount.

I use this stuff.

It's pretty good, you can use as much or as little as you like, resealable, can be added directly without mixing if you like.

Not as good as homemade but a whole lot less wasteful and infinitely better than cubes.

Fried Rice - a Basic Recipe for Fried Rice

I'm no expert, but a google search turned up this. Worth a try.

I always use peanut oil and let the spices melt in the oil for a few minutes before I add the rice (if you use mustard seed, best to add those before other spices to give them time to break open). Just before I add the rice, I'll add veggies or whatever. Works out great for me every time.

Also, I use a gas range.

I personally believe this to be a must.

Alton Brown suggests using a wok on a grill....if I only had a grill

Wiggywiggler · 09-19-2007, 05:15 PM

Gas = no can do for me. Electric stoves all the way in this country.

I could get a separate gas thingy, but I'm not tHAT much into cooking. I really do want a Wok pan, though, just can't get one right now.

I wonder how they actually use wok pans in oriental countries, could well be in grills.

Not on a grill, rather use one of those burners you get with a turkey deep fryer. It gets the wok super-hot which is a must.

My secret is that I get Superman to bring my wok to the surface of the sun to heat up and then once he brings it back, I immediately throw everything into it and it's instantly ready to go.
