Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for Chinese-style fried rice:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked rice (preferably cold, leftover rice)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as carrots, peas, corn, and bell peppers), diced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are cooked but still slightly crunchy.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until they are cooked through.
- Mix the cooked vegetables and scrambled eggs together.
- Add the cold cooked rice to the pan and break up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice and vegetables together, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Drizzle the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using) over the rice and continue stirring to evenly distribute the sauces.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Be cautious with the salt as the soy sauce already adds a salty flavor.
- Continue stir-frying the rice for a few more minutes until everything is heated through.
- Remove the pan from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve the Chinese fried rice hot as a main dish or as a side dish with your favorite Chinese dishes.
