Recipe: Fried Rice w/ peas

Good fried rice has firm separate grains. It is clean, light; with different flavors in each bite. No clumping. The secret is using white rice that has been in the refrigerator overnight, and using a non-stick skillet (not wok) to cook evenly without a lot of oil.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 large egg, beaten lightly
  • 1 cup frozen peas (pref. baby peas)
  • 2-3 cups cooked rice, broken up with fingers
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts (optional)
  • 2 medium scallions

Directions

  1. Heat oil in the skillet
  2. Add egg and allow the set for 20 seconds, then scramble, and break into small pieces. Transfer egg to small bowl.
  3. Add more oil to skillet.
  4. Add peas and garlic, and cook until garlic is fragrant (1 min)
  5. Add rice, oyster sauce, and soy sauce; stirring constantly (3 min)
  6. Add eggs, bean sprouts (optional), and scallion, stirring constantly (1 min)
