You can find many types of fried rice all throughout Asia, but I wanted to post a chinese-style fried rice recipe after watching a battle cooking show. If you don’t like shrimp, you can add the meat of your choice. Char-siu works well with this recipe too. The key to this recipe is adding the green onion last, and cooking at very very high heat!

Ingredients:

1 large bowl cooked rice (cook 1 cup of rice)
1/4 lbs shrimp (about 13 large shrimp)
3 eggs
2 green onion (chopped)
1 cup of petite mixed vegetables
1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
5 tablespoon peanut oil (2 for the shrimp and 3 for the rice)

    Hello Mamaloli.
    How are you?
    I have a done a lot of diferent recipes great but I have a problem with fried rice. Everytime I have tried to cook any tipe of fried rice the rice doens’t split up and gets sticky. I know the rice grains has to bee separeted and kind of dried. I always make my steamed rice on a rice cooker. Do you have any tip? Somebody told that I should wash the rice with hot water and let it drain after cooked in the rice cooker but I didn’t tried that yet. What would you recommend? Thanks a lot!
    Tonight I will cook the orange chicken. I love it.

      Hi Patricio!
      There are different types of rice you can use. For fried rice, I’d say the best is koshihikari. It’s a bit expensive, but when making fried rice at home, it works very well. You can also use the long grain chinese rice. High heat is very important and I add a little less water when I make the rice (so not as sticky). Try less water first, and if you don’t get results, try switching the rice. :)
