Chinese Fried Rice
Description
Fried rice makes a delicious side dish, but if it's the main dish you're after, add meatless chick'n strips or grilled tofu, and you'll have a hearty dinner the whole family will love.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare your raw vegetables and place them together in the same dish. You'll be adding these to the wok at the same time.
Â
-
When all veggies are ready, heat the wok over medium heat and drizzle in the oil. Next, add the vegetables, continually stirring for 3 to 5 minutes.
Â
-
Add two tablespoons of soy sauce and ginger and mix well. Cook until the mixture is steaming and the veggies are soft - about 2 to 3 minutes.
Â
-
Fold the cooked rice into the vegetables. Add the remaining soy sauce, mirin, and toasted sesame oil, mixing for about a minute or two.
Â
-
Add a splash more soy sauce as needed to taste and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
Â
*Leftover rice works perfectly for fried rice because it has lost much of its moisture. If possible, make the rice a day or two in advance.
-
Optional: To add "egg" to the rice, we used a little bit of our leftover Just Egg morning scramble. You could also use tofu if desired.
