Bethany's Fried Rice
Bethany made this for extra credit in her Chinese class during her first semester of high
school. It was sooooo yummy that we'll make it again and again!
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Tb oil
- Chinese sausage or ham, diced
- 6-8 peeled shrimp
- ½ cup green peas
- ½ cup sweet corn
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups white rice
- 1 Tb light soy sauce
- 3 green onions, sliced
-
Cook rice.
You can use the
microwave rice cooker—this yields 3 cups (so you'll have some extra):
1 cup long grain enriched rice, 2 cups water, 1 Tb butter;
15 minutes in microwave
-
Heat 1 Tb oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot.
Add shrimp:
if using cooked shrimp, just fry briefly and then remove to a bowl.
- Add chinese sausage/ham; cook and stir 30 seconds.
-
Add corn and peas. Cook and stir until soft. Transfer all
to the bowl with the shrimp.
-
Add 1 Tb oil to pan. Add the beaten eggs and quickly stir a few times.
Add the cooked rice and a pinch of salt. Cook/stir to separate rice.
-
Return the shrimp/sausage/veggies to pan. Swirl in soy sauce. Stir to mix well.
Add green onion. Cook until rice is heated through.
