Answer 2

1.5 cups rice (I use BASMATI or JASMINE rice, but you can use anything but Minute Rice)
2 cups H2O (that's water to you and me)
4 eggs (2 eggs only whites, 2 eggs with the yolks - chicken eggs, please)
meat (optional - pork, chicken, or roadkill is fine - I prefer chicken, but raccoon is good too)
green onion / white onion / celery / bell pepper / broccoli / frozen peas / any crisp vegetable, diced to the size of....well, dice
1 ounce dark sesame oil (Trader Joe's has this $1.99 a bottle - pick up some $2 Chuck while you're there)
2 ounces canola oil (any kind except Pennzoil works fine - I just like Canola oil for its heart-healthy tendencies)
salt (Seasoned Salt is fine)

Early in the day (or the day before): Cook rice. I use 1.5 cups of rice to 2 cups water in a rice cooker. LET THE RICE COOL to room temperature, or put it in the refrigerator if you cook the rice the day before. I think this step is important because it allows me to relax and watch the Simpsons on TV before I resume cooking. If asked "why aren't you cooking dinner", you can always answer "I'm doing what the recipe says to do!".

When the rice is cool, here's what you do:

Mix the eggs (2 full eggs, 2 egg whites) and an ounce of the canola oil and the ounce of dark sesame oil, scramble them up like a crazy person. The key ingredient in this whole thing is the dark sesame oil, so don't forget that.

Pour the other ounce of canola oil in the bottom of a wok. Get that sucker hot! I suggest cooking this while you have clothes on. If you cook this naked, you run the risk of serious injury as the hot oil in the wok will spit at you when you do the next step.

Is the oil hot? Add the egg mixture to the wok. Now do you see why you should wear clothes while cooking this? Scramble this up, don't let it form a big flapjack in the pan. Get this looking like oily scrambled eggs. Because, amazingly enough, that's what it is, so far.

Add the meat (make sure it's already cooked - that's why I suggest leftovers - or if not, cook it in the wok before you add the eggs). The meat should be diced as well, about the size of the hole in a CD. You don't have to make it spherical or cylindrical, that was just an example. Making dodecahedrons is OK too.

Scramble the meat, eggs and oil up good! When the eggs get burned beyond recognition, throw the whole thing away and start again.

This time, before the eggs get burned (but after they're starting to brown), add the rice a little at a time, making sure to break up the clumps as you go. When you've added all the rice, add the vegetables - you add them last so they will remain crisp. You want crisp, no? Frozen peas are wonderful in this stuff. Even if you don't like peas, you owe it to yourself to try it. If you try the frozen peas and don't like them in the fried rice, don't whine at me, though. I like 'em, and I'm the one with this recipe on-line, not you.

Mix and evenly heat all that stuff in the wok. Keep the heat on medium, and constantly stir. If you don't, you'll form a thermal rice barrier on the bottom of the wok which will prevent their little rice buddies up top from cooking. Add some salt, add some more salt (I like Lawry's Seasoned Salt) and taste it as you go. Add some more salt. Taste it again. Repeat. Add pepper if you wish, but I find the dark sesame oil gets it spicy enough.

Indonesian Fried Rice - Nasi Goreng - is delicious. In Indonesia it is most often eaten for breakfast and in the preparation rice and meat left overs from the day before are used.
The secret for an excellent fried rice is to cook the rice the day before. When you use it the next day a very thin dry skin has formed around every grain, making it easy to fry and which will give it a little more "bite".
Here is a web site with a recipe for "nasi goreng": http://minyos.its.rmit.edu.au/~dwa/Receipe.html

Good luck and enjoy!

You should find the answers you want at www.allrecipes.com. That's such a helpful website, because you can search for whatever you want, then select the dish by rating (5 star is the best) and customer reviews. Those reviews can be extremely helpful too....many people will adjust the recipe to suit their taste, and sometimes come up with something better than the original posted recipe.

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

You need to practise the skill with small amount of rice and eggs, then you can cook better than your bf. I personally do not like to put soy sauce in my fried rice, it darken the colour and the wok may get burned quicker! My tip for fixing simple frieid rice is you have to heat your frying pan or Chinese wok real hot with more oil (cooking oil or peanut oil or corn oil) and stir fry speedily to mix the rice and eggs thoroughly.

My recipe is simple, no cooking wine, no garlic, no soy sauce, you can just fry your rice with eggs and salt only. Once you caught the speed, you would make it!

<<<<<<<<< Egg & Ham Fried Rice >>>>>>>>>>>

100 g ham or sauages (cubes)
4 eggs beat with some salt
1 slice of ginger root (crushed)
300 g steamed Jasmine rice (the best would be the left over from last night)
green onions (finely chopped)
4 tablespoon peanut oil / cooking oil
salt

1) Heat the oil in the frying pan or Chinese wok real hot (burn the wok to real hot - you can see the steam, then add the cold oil in the wok), add the ginger to make a fragrance, take the ginger out before it got burned
2) pour the egg mixture into the pan / wok , stir fry quickly for a few seconds, add the rice into the pan and stir fry quickly till the rice covered by the egg (turned to yellowish and jumping in your pan)
3) Add the ham into the pan to stir fry for a minute or till all ingredients are hot enough.
4) add some table salt to taste, lower the heat, add the green onion into the pan and mix well.
5) serve immediately

(If you just want to practise this recipe for yourself, you can just fry 2 eggs with a bowl of steamed rice with salt)

We sometime put shrimps into our fried rice, but we need to fry the shrimps to make it halfly cooked then mix the shrimps with the ham and fry with the rice. (Marinate the shrimps with salt + sugar + cooking wine + white pepper + a bit of corn starch for about 15 mins then stir fry the shrimps in hot oil for 1 minute, drain and set aside, clean the wok for frying the egg and rice)

Good luck!

Answer 7

soak long grain rice in water for 15 mins
heat a spoonful of butter in a deep pan, add a large grated onion, stir. after the onions turn brown add crushed ginger, garlic, chilli and pepper powder. add a little clove and cinnamon powder . turn off the gas after a min and keep aside. separate half of the mixture into another pan.
add tomato puree to one pan and boil. add salt and keep aside.
add blanched spinach puree to another pan. boil, salt and keep aside.
the soaked rice should be drained of excess water. add salt and steam the rice with peas and carrots
divide the steamed rice into 3 parts. dissolve a bit of saffron in a spoonful of milk. add cardamom powder to it. take one part of rice and mix the saffron milk to it. carefully toss it well so that the rice gets coloured. add nuts of your choice and keep aside.
take the second part of rice and mix it well with the tomatoe puree mix
mix the third part of rice with the spinach mixture.
take a large transparent serving bowl which can be used in the oven. place the red tomato rice the bottom, place a layer of green spinach rice on top of it. finally make a layer of the saffron rice on the top.
in between each layer add small quantities of butter.
place in the oven just before serving.
non vegetarians may like to add pieces of baked chicken, lamb or slices of hard boiled eggs,cheese or pineapple. add these things of your choice to the spinach or tomato layer only. add a different element to each layer. such spicy rice goes well with chilled, beaten curd or yoghurt seasoned with salt and mint

Answer 8

i am sure you know how to make rice and while making the same add lots of fresh vegetables and whipped eggs and mushrooms....if you can add some indian masalas which are available in small packets that would give it a spicy taste as well....try the recipe........i have tried it and it tastes terrific.......

Answer 9

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Thus as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.
