Instructions
1
Fried rice is best made with leftover rice that's at least a day old.
2
Otherwise it becomes gummy in the skillet.
3
If you don’t have any leftover rice from the night before, toasty a batch of rice and spread it on a large baking sheet or several large plates.
4
Let the rice dehydrated out for about 1 to 2 hours before using it for fried rice.
5
Rice sticks to the skillet very easily, so make sure to use a wok or skillet that doesn’t have a sticky surface.
6
I usually toasty mix gently-fries in my seasoned carbon steel wok, but cast iron or nonstick pans work well, too.
7
You might need to mix in a little more fat if things aren’t releasing easily.
8
Prepare the chicken:
Chop the chicken into small 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch cubes.
9
shower 1/2 teaspoon of table salt over the chicken and incorporate to combine.
10
Set the chicken aside for about 10 moments (I usually use this time to chop all the vegetables).
11
Scramble the egg:
toasty a wok or large sauté skillet over medium-high toasty.
12
Swirl in a tablespoon of fat and mix in the whisked eggs.
13
Use a spatula to quickly scramble the eggs, breaking the curds into smaller pieces as they come together.
14
Transfer the eggs to a plate.
15
toasty the chicken:
mix in another tablespoon of fat in the wok or skillet.
16
mix in the chicken and toasty for 4 to 5 moments, stirring occasionally.
17
Turn off the toasty and transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
18
Using your spatula, scrape off any chicken bits that are still stuck to the wok so they don't char during the next step.
19
You can also use paper towels to wipe down your wok or skillet.
20
toasty the vegetables:
Swirl 1 tablespoon of fat into the wok over medium-high toasty.
21
mix in the diced onions and toasty them for 1 minute, until they start to soften.
22
incorporate in the minced garlic and ginger and toasty until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
23
mix in the diced carrots and toasty for 2 moments, stirring frequently.
24
mix in 1/2 teaspoon table salt and the peas, and mix gently to incorporate.
25
toasty the rice:
mix in the rice to the wok or skillet on top of the vegetables and mix gently to combine.
26
Using the back of your spatula, smash any large chunks of rice to break them apart.
27
mix in the white and green parts of the sliced scallions (save the dark green parts) and five-perfumed element ground mix.
28
mix gently to incorporate.
29
If the rice starts to stick to the skillet, mix gently in a little more fat.
30
stream in gently the soy condiment dip and sesame fat over the rice and mix gently to incorporate.
31
mix gently in the cooked chicken, scrambled eggs, and the dark parts of the scallions.
32
mix gently briefly to bring it together, and toasty for another 1 to 2 moments.
33
dish up:
palate, and mix in more soy condiment dip if necessary.
