Leftovers Fried Rice That Actually Still Tastes Legit | Marion's Kitchen

I love a good fridge clean recipe that helps me cook up a delicious dinner with whatever food needs using up. Cue this leftovers Thai fried rice dish, where I'm using leftover Christmas ham (although it works well with BBQ chicken or any protein from your family Sunday lunch) and combining it with solid wok technique to make a distinctly Thai fried rice. All the tips, all the tricks, all that wok hei flavour I know you love as much as I do.

I use Micrwave rice...those ones in the bag you cook for 90 seconds but I don't cook it as it is already cooked, I just throw it straight into the Wok. Very easy and conveniant.

[@narelleguthrie542]

Yes I'm with you. In a hurry yep micro rice is sooo easy to add to whatever you cooking

[@donnathomas2388]

This is a wonderful series. Please bring it back.

[@carolrajan3015]

Hi, i am from malaysia and tq for all your nice recipes. I do not have broccoli in my fridge but i have basil so is it practical for this dish. Tq in advance. ❤

[@WendyHannan-pt7ez]

I love basil,, I made a chicken soup recently and used basil, the basil made it really special,. Good luck with your fried rice. 😉

[@nilnz]

Look at what bits of veges you have in your fridge/kitchen that needs to be used up. sometimes there's not enough for a whole dish but a few bits here and other stuff will make up enough veges.. It doesn't have to be broccolli. long beans? carrots? I've even seen beans sprouts in fried rice (but you put that in last probably).

[@lori1302]

Hi Marion from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I love Make it Wednesdays! Can you do a Thai Pizza? You have taught me so much about cooking, you are simply the best!❤

[@Marionskitchen]

Thank you for watching from Pittsburgh! Thai pizza sounds soooo good! I actually make a version at home. I'll put it on my video list! And great to know you like this format. Thank you!

[@dedmatters]

College student in the Philippines! And yep, fork to push food in spoon, and spoon to mouth. Thanks for the tip about the oil! I'll try that next time I fry an egg. What I've been doing is pouring oil on wok then wait for it to heat up while I'm prepping ingredients and making coffee. And I'll pour a generous amount of oil (I might have been skimping). And wow, I'll try tomatoes next time I do fried rice.

[@WendyHannan-pt7ez]

Hi Marion, I have to admit I’ve never made fried rice 😩I love it ,however I’m celiac and need to make everything gluten free. When making Asian dishes I must use gluten free sauces, which is pretty easy today, Ayam sauces are very gluten free friendly. I love your recipes and Im going to make the fried rice tomorrow. Thank you, I’m watching from Australia 🇦🇺🐨

[@Marionskitchen]

Well now is the time to do it Wendy! I hope you find this video useful on your first attempt! Thank you for watching!

Yes awesome bring it back

[@Elena_Kanealii]

Yes, please bring back this series. Being from Hawaii, fried rice is a big go to here and we love the fried egg over our rice. I usually use oyster sauce and Aloha Shoyu, but will definitely try the Thai soy sauce with some fish sauce. Looks really delicious! Wonderful mouth watering video. Excited for the next video. Aloha!

[@CosBdA]

Love your channel. I'm watching from a cold and damp (old) North Wales (UK) and dream of returning the vibrant, warm and wonderful New South Wales (Australia in general, tbh)! My only request is more veggie stuff. I'm an odd one in that I'm not really an ethical veggie - I just don't like meat (texture/flavour), so can happily adapt your recipes. But it would be great to learn more about Thai/Asian cuisine that just happens to be veggie!

[@ellalively]

Out of all the chefs I ever tried recipes, yours are the best! You have taught me how to cook, Marion! Thank you and watching all the way from GUAM!

[@nicholestaffen1777]

Watching from Alberta Canada! 🇨🇦 I also love a fried rice when I just don't have much time for dinner or I can't think of anything to make. The kids also like that it's minimal dishes to wash up!

[@jocelynkelland287]

Love from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Totally agree about garlic presses. Just ruins the garlic and hard to clean.

[@alexdee5341]

Love form the Philippines! I love tofu, garlic and mushrooms, I include that in my fried rice with some cabbage, green peas, corn and carrots. Filipinos put a lot of garlic in everything.

It’s my first time seeing it and I’m enjoying it. I’m trying to learn to cook with wok and love your recipe and the way you explain it all from molding the rice to putting it in the fridge to cool if it’s fresh angling your knife with your veggies I mean everything it was a very great session. Thank you I would love to see more.

Watching this in Trinidad and Tobago. My favorite fried rice is a shrimp egg fried rice.

[@LJW55]

Watching from 30k south of Brisbane... Will try my best to replicate this. One thing that really does annoy is that most TV or KZbin chefs NEVER identify the type of oil they are using. Is it vegetable, what type, is olive, what type, is it flavoured if so with what... Please, what type did you use Marion..? Last question. Rice... Is it Jasmine, Basmati or something else?

Watching from Michigan in the United States, love your videos! I usually ALWAYS make a lot of rice whenever I do, so I can make a fried rice the next day and one of my favorites is your recipe for kimchi fried rice! And I ALSO get the Squid brand fish sauce! I'm fortunate enough to live right by a HUGE Asian market in Madison Heights, MI called 168 Asian Market and I go there for all my sauces and instant noodles.

Yes love this episode. Vietnamese Fish sauce especially the first pressed one are quite more pungent and have that really fishy smell and taste. It's mellows out when it's cooked. I prefer the Squid brand one for cooking. Watching from SoCal.

yes you can try smoked shredded chicken using both breast n dark meat?.?.?. you're in nashville n it sounded good to me!!... I'm hungry again!!!

[@iamrenzotoo]

So, about a good seasoned wok. I have my plate steel wok and I’m on induction unfortunately. It seems I can’t season my wok very well. Only the bottom is blackish. Any tips on how to make it really good? Cause when I fry my rice it does tend to stick :( Ps: love making left over fried rice. I even toss in left over take away, like Thai or Indonesian! Never spilling any food.

[@young1chef6]

Yes!! Bring this back! I thoroughly enjoyed these every Wednesday!

[@AbdulFekri]

Watching you from Dubai, I've seen few chefs put liquid chicken stock in fried rice, what do you think of that? Also since few of us don't eat pork (for religious reasons) i would be grateful if you can always mention what other types of meat can be substituted. Love your show!

[@giannadallman9498]

Your videos make me feel so happy:) I’m going to make this tonight, have some left over rotisserie chicken waiting to be stir fryified. Love from denver, colorado!!!

i think i will get a case of Thai soy sauce, my normal everyday cooking soy sauce which i buy in 8lt drums is pearl river bridge superior light soy sauce and for the bottle on the table pearl river bridge gold label superior light soy sauce. Time to broaden my pantry and pallete i'll order afew bottles of the Thai Thin Light Soy Sauce 700ml by Healthy Boy and a bottle of the squid fish sauce and i am going to make a christmas ham as watching this video makes me want some.
