A few weeks ago I was given a wok, and let me tell you... it is my new best friend! Last night, I made fried rice, and what a difference having the right pan made! Last time I kept dumping rice out of my biggest pan. Anyway, I think this was my best fried rice yet, and so of course, I have to share the recipe!
- 1 1/2 cups rice (or, two 6-ounce rice cups)
- 3 cups water (or, four 6-ounce rice cups)
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 3 eggs
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 3-5 green onions - diced
- Sliced carrots
- Broccoli
- Snow peas
- Soy sauce to taste
- Sesame oil to taste
Directions:
- In a rice cooker, place your rice and water, and turn on.
- While rice cooks, place cooking oil and crushed/minced garlic in a large pan or wok, and put on med-low heat.
- Add carrots, peas, broccoli and green onions - coat with oil, and cook thoroughly to desired tenderness - add a little water if needed to keep from burning. (To flash steam: add 1/4 cup water to the hot pan and cover.)
- Add eggs to the veggies, stirring constantly to scramble the eggs throughout the pan and coat the veggies.
- Add salt and sesame seeds - stir.
- Add cooked rice to the veggies/eggs, and mix.
- Add soy sauce and sesame oil to taste.
- Enjoy!
