How To Make Chinese Fried Rice

*Note: Some restaurants use basmati rice as it falls into individual grains, jasmine rice can be used for a more authentic fried rice

How To Make Fried Rice
2 cups basmati rice or 4 cups cooked rice
2 eggs + salt/pepper
2 ham steaks, finely cubed
1 handful chopped shallots
1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, corn, carrots)
3 tbsp peanut oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
any meat/seafood combinations may be added in

[@HenrysHowTos]

FYI. Spring onions are referred to as shallots in Australia. The shallots referred to in US are known as eshallots in Australia

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

I think the Americans call them scallions

[@desireawinton9745]

I would a smoke turkey do instead of ham, some smoke turkey taste like ham when it's fried?' Hickory I think taste more like ham when fried?

[@a2ndopynyn]

What you used are indeed called scallions in America; sometimes also called Green Onions, hence the name of the Memphis classic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqDSqWyYf8Z6gJo Also, I think some finely chopped smoked pulled pork shoulder would go better here than the turkey. For the amount made in this recipe, I think between 1/4 to 1/2 lb of shoulder, depending on how meaty you like your fried rice. Forego the ham steak and use 1/2 lb shoulder, or keep it and use 1/4 lb. Either way, I'd add it before the rice so it can flavor the oil. Good video; I've got a few different fried rice videos bookmarked and I'll pick the ideas from each one I like the best when I do finally give it a try. Thanks for posting!

[@herbetrono4373]

Spring onions , are what we call spring onions in Australia ! And shallots are called shallots , dont know where you heard that crap from !

[@HenrysHowTos]

@@herbetrono4373 actually, shallots are single stems where as spring onions have the white bulb. A simple visit to coles or woolies and you’ll see the difference, in the food service industry they are completely different

[@WOODR52]

I tried this recipe, I had all the ingredients handy. It came out great, no soggy rice, but I ate it all myself before my wife came home from work... had to make it all over again. Thanks

[@robinbanks5128]

What kind of rice did you use?

[@havannabananana9304]

Robin Banks I used white rice I think any rice would be good

[@Eagle_James_TKB]

🤣🤣🤣

[@deloresleonard762]

So it was good? It does look simple to make.

[@inspiredbycreation4121]

What a great easy dish to make when you have all the ingredients. I am so glad that you have mentioned the Basmatti Rice as the kind of rice to be used for this dish, because any other rice make the dish too sticky and soft. And...some sauted onion with some diced garlic and ginger with the meet make a big difference in taste. I have also learned by experience not to add any salt until the very end after adding the soy sauce, if it needs it.

[@360daystolive9]

Tip: for the eggs, there’s no need to cut them out of the pan- just scramble them in pan, move it around and spectate them by chopping them to pieces with your spatula or spoon before the egg is fully set :)

[@liuzhou]

spectate them? What does that mean?

[@psychochun]

Amazing looking fried rice. It looks easy to make but I know it takes experience to achieve. Love it.

[@by_ronpa_dilla538]

In Ecuador (chaulafan) and in Peru (chaufa), they prepare this but they also add chopped pork, chicken and beef, in small pieces, just like the ham ones. If you prefer, they also add some small shrimp. And yes, sesame oil is added too. I love this rice, I can easily say is one of my favorites. 👍

[@Perrrfect_Queen33]

[@sallygreimes6585]

Change it up by rotating your protein, leftover chicken, beef, shrimp..... The rest is the same. It tales less work if you have day old rice. This can be gluten free if you use gluten free soy sauce and use sesame for part to all oil and sprinkle sesame seeds dusted on top.

[@JeanPaillard-to1hx]

@Diana Rios Chinese fried rice is NOT made with Basmati rice which grows at the foot of the Himalayas in northern India and Northern Pakistan.

Thank you so much for sharing. In my neck of the woods the Chinese use a tsp of sesame seed oil and a bit of chicken stock at the beginning. Looks amazing.

[@kenfletcher1240]

Utterly pointless adding sesame oil at the beginning. It is extremely volatile and heat kills it. It is added at the end as a condiment.

[@jonmcclure10]

Basamatti Rice is also the key, I for sure, as a cookbook author of eight books use on this Indian rice, and be sure, ( not mentioned wash in cold water, sifting the rice between your fingers at least two or three times until the rice runs clear), I like his, but for sure prefer adding cleaning the rice. I put roasted chopped pork, shrimp and/even roasted cooked chicken. The other key is not just Soy, but Sesame Oil to taste. I was lucky enough to take courses from Grace Zia Chu's from mainland China over four decades ago, (dead now, but a terrific Chinese chef). I remember cooking at a large convention show and many Chinese restaurant owners came, and I made many specialty dishes, I love also, Lebanese, French, German, Italian, Cuban, Mexican and at least six other cultures, but still Chinese is over 5,000 years old and still one of my favorites. Anyway, after I finished and many came to taste test, the Chinese restaurants owners, said, "how come your egg rolls are better than ours", I said I marinate pork tenderloin, (I was also a butcher and meat cutter for (A&P, Safeway and Kroger) working through ten years of college, and the key is put in only the best and you get out the best in any dish. Marinate the pork in soy, honey, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil at room temperature for 30 minutes. Remove and stir-fry in wok (peanut oil is best) until done, then add you choice of thinly chopped white or red cabbage or if preferred bean sprouts. The owners said we can not afford to make them with this expensive meat, so I said "taste is in the pudding", so-to-speak. You should be able to buy egg roll raps at most supermarkets. The egg rolls go great with Plumb sauce, Orange sauce, sweet Chili sauce, hot mustard sauce or at last resort good to even with a good stir-fry sauce. This recipe is in my best seller from Dell/Random House, New York from my nationally syndicated TV series seen in the news in the 80's in U.S., Hawaii, Alaska, Canada and the Virgin Islands in mid-day and evening news on network affiliates, "Making Ends Meet Cooking" from Jon McClure, lucky to have done over 3,000 TV & radio shows over a 40+ year period, but now I run from a TV camera. Been there done that and lots of fun, so please never give up trying to create great dishes, as it is one piece of art, you can actually EAT!
