Turn your leftover white rice into the best fried rice you ever had! Fried rice is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. Shrimp, beef or chicken, I love them all. When I go out for Chinese food, I always take all of the leftover white rice back home for making fried rice that lasts me several days.
It's simple to make, but you must have the right ingredients to make it taste like you bought it at your favorite Chinese restaurant. Here's what you need:
2 - 4 cups of cooked leftover white rice
1 - 2 eggs
2 - 3 garlic cloves chopped
2 - 4 tablespoons of Kikkoman Soy Sauce
2 - 3 teaspoons of Sesame oil
1 - package of frozen peas (optional peas & carrots)
3 - tablespoons of Peanut oil or Olive oil ( I always use olive oil because it is healthier but peanut oil is preferred in Chinese cooking because of its high burning temperature.)
A hand full of chopped fresh shrimp, chicken or beef chopped
This first step took me a long time to learn, but it is the most important part of the entire recipe. Beat your eggs as if you were going to make scramble eggs.
I use an old wok that I got at a garage sale but you can use any good frying pan. Place 1 tablespoon of oil into your pan and heat the pan to high. Before the oil starts to smoke throw in your eggs and beat until they are over cooked and start breaking apart into smaller pieces. Remove your eggs from the wok and place them into a container for later.
Now add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and ½ the chopped garlic. Everything should happen fast if you have your heat on high so be fast. Throw your shrimp or meat in the wok and stir fry for a few minutes until cooked and then remove from the wok and place into the container with the eggs.
Now add the rest of the oil and 1-2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Add all the remaining chopped garlic and a handful of frozen green peas. Stir fry for a minute then add the white rice and stir fry for another few minutes. Add all the ingredients that you put aside in the container and start putting in soy sauce as you continue to stir fry.
Taste it as you go along and you may want to add more soy sauce or sesame oil. Enjoy!
I spent two years in Japan and loved the way they served and presented fried rice to you in a restaurant. Here is this presentation trick I learned while in Japan.
Get a nice shaped Chinese or Japanese soup bowl and pack down your fried rice in a bowl. Place a flat serving dish on top of the bowl and now place your hand on top of the flat dish while turning the dish upside down. Put into the microwave for a few minutes with the bowl still on the rice.
When you take the fried rice out of the microwave remove the bowl and you have a nice shaped mound of fried rice ready to be served.

Cuban and Chinese cuisine together: Cuban pork fried rice recipe
Most people, who don't know Cuba well, don't realize that there are a number of Chinese who lived and worked there since 1850. Although there are perhaps only 500 Chinese there now, there were once up to 40,000 Chinese in Cuba.
In Havana, a neighborhood known as "Barrio Chino", which is equivalent to Chinatown. This neighborhood was once spread over 40 blocks, but now is worth somewhat but is still home to many Chinese restaurants.
Because of this influence, the Cuban cuisine has absorbed some of the flavors and spices. You will find in most Cuban homes and soy sauce fried rice is well loved. Always have liked the idea of fusion foods that is located at the intersection of two distinct food traditions. I created this recipe combines the flavors of China and Cuba.
Rice is of course fundamental Chinese and Cuban. Pork cooked Cuban often in homes, where remains could easily add to this dish. Chinese soy sauce blend with lemon garlic parsley enthusiasm, and I think that makes delicious fried rice.
You can use the new cut pork chop pieces for this recipe. But, as I said earlier, even leftover roast pork is delicious, and can be added to rice. In fact, the fried rice is food leftover is perfect and you can use any leftover rice, vegetables and meat or fish but shrimp.

Cooking Chinese Fried Rice at Home
Fried rice is perhaps one of the most recognizable Chinese dishes known to Westerners. It's also one of the rare takeout dishes that is also authentically Chinese, meaning that you will find it being served in Chinese households all around the world. Rice is the staple grain of the Asian diet and feeds more people across the world than any other food. Fried rice was born out of frugality, with cooks looking to do something with leftovers. Adding a few pieces of extra meat and vegetables to the leftover grains creates a complete different dish that is both tasty and economical. In some respects, you could make the argument that this dish is the original casserole. Making fried rice is easier than you think. Below are some tips to make Chinese fried rice at home.
First of all, you need to prepare the rice. Many recipes will call for day-old or cold rice, but that's not really necessary. The logic behind this is that when the grains are cold, they don't stick together, making a clumpy mess in your wok or skillet. While having cold grains is a bonus, it's not essential. After all, having cold rice on hand requires planning and many people are not going to have the forethought to prepare it for the next day. Indeed, freshly cooked can be used, but it needs to be cooled down slightly. In order to keep the grains from sticking to one another, you can add one or two beaten eggs to the grains and mix it around. The raw eggs will coat each grain, preventing them from sticking together during cooking. You should also add a pinch of salt at this time to season the dish.
Next, you need to prepare all of your secondary ingredients. These are the ingredients that will flavor your dish. As to what to put in, let your imagination run wild. The combinations are limitless. This is a great time to get rid of leftover or foods that are about to expire. For example, if you have some left over chicken from the night before, cut it up into little pieces for this dish. Perhaps you have some bean sprouts that are a little past their prime. Add them in as well. You can add almost anything to the dish and it will taste good. Cooks even add ingredients like pineapple when they are making it. The only thing that you need to do is to make sure that you have cut all of your ingredients up into small, bite sized pieces in order to have even cooking time and to make eating easier.
Once you have prepped all of your ingredients, it's time to get cooking. This is the one instance when having a non-stick skillet in your Chinese kitchen works well. First, you need to heat the skillet over high heat and add some oil or vegetable cooking spray. Once the pan is hot, you should add the rice. Let the rice sit on the bottom of the pan for one to two minutes undisturbed. After that, mix the rice around and continue to let it fry. You want the rice to have a nice, golden color and to look slightly crispy. Once the rice is done, remove it to a platter and keep it warm. Next, add in all of your meats and vegetables to the pan and stir fry until heated through. Return the rice to the pan and then stir to combine.
After everything is combined, you need to season your dish. There are two schools of thought when it comes to seasoning this dish. Purist will insist that you should not add soy sauce to the dish and that you should only season with salt. Others will say that you should add soy sauce or oyster sauce to the dish to boost up the flavor. The decision is up to you, but Chinese traditionally do not add soy sauce, although your favorite takeout restaurant probably does. Anyhow, whichever way you choose to go, you will still have a tasty dish.
Making Chinese fried rice at home is easy and a great way to get rid of leftovers. Once you learn the basic technique, you can adapt the recipe to suit your tastes and choice of ingredients.
