Chinese Fried Rice

posted in: Recipes | 0

This is a tried and true recipe I’ve used tons of times with leftover rice. It’s best to cook the rice the day before. I also go heavy on the green onions and cilantro.

1/4 vegetable oil
3 cups cooked brown rice
4 minced green onions
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped cooked roast pork or chicken or 1 cup diced cooked shrimp
3 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves

Heat the oil in a large heavy pot or wok. Toss in the rice until hot and golden. Add the scallions, salt and meat. When these ingredients are well mixed, hollow a center in the rice. Break the eggs into the hollow and scramble until semicooked, then stir into the rice mixture. Add soy sauce and cilantro.
