This Fried Rice recipe is my personal favorite. Great colorful side dish to other Oriental dishes, or can act as a main course as well if you are looking for a light, tasty meal. The key ingredient to the taste of this dish is the Black Sesame oil. Read more . It will not be the same with any other type of oil. Ingredients:
4 cups cooked rice, room temperature |
1/2 cup chopped green onion |
1/2 cup diced cooked carrots |
1/2 teaspoon peeled minced ginger |
2 pressed medium garlic cloves |
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper |
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper |
1 egg, beaten |
3 tablespoons black sesame oil |
soy sauce to taste |
white pepper |
1 cup diced cooked chicken or pork cut in 1/2 pieces *optional |
Directions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the black sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium to medium high heat.
2. Add green onions, ginger, red & green peppers and garlic and stir fry until fragrant (about 3 minutes).
3. Add optional meat and cook for a couple minutes until heated.
4. Add carrots and fold in rice, and stir fry for about 10 minutes, adding the extra tablespoon of sesame oil to taste until rice takes on a light tan coloring from the oil.
5. Add soy sauce to taste (no more than 1.5 Tablespoons unless you like it really salty) and mix well.
6. Push mixture to the side of the wok or pan and scramble the egg in the open area of the pan.
7. Fold egg into rice mixture, season with white pepper to taste, and serve.
