Answer 2

My recommendation is to boil your rice as normal until cooked thoroughly, Wash with boiling water and leave to drain. Whilst this is draining beat an egg or two depending on the amount of rice you have cooked pour this into the bottom of a hot wok and cook and keep stirring. this will solidify and when this happens cut into small pieces remove form the wok. Now heat a little oil in the wok add the boiled Rice and a few splashes of soy sauce to slightly brown the rice then add the egg and your peas. you could always add spring onion this too is a great touch even a little cooked meat ie chicken!! I hope this helps ENJOY!!!

Answer 3

Use this as a base recipe. Substiture peas for mushrooms and make any other necessary adjustments.

Anytime Easy Egg Fried Rice

1 teaspoon vegetable oil or cooking spray
1-2 green onion, sliced
1/2 cup mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped broccoli
2 cups cooked rice (I always make this from leftovers)
2 teaspoons soy sauce (I use Braggs all purpose seasoning. It's less salty than pure soy, and comes in a spray bottle - mir)
2 eggs, whisked
pepper
Cook veggies in oil or spray in non-stick frying pan (or wok).
Add rice, and stir-fry a couple of minutes.
Add soy sauce or Braggs seasoning to taste.
Push everything to the side of the pan, and, tilting pan, cook eggs separately, combining when mostly cooked.
Season with pepper.

Of course, producing the above-mentioned dish is sometimes easier said than done. Ideally, fried rice should be light, fluffy, and easy to pick up with chopsticks. For another, there is a philosophical debate over which is better - fresh cooked rice or leftovers from last night's meal. Personally, I prefer to use cold leftover rice, but I will cook a fresh pot if necessary.

The Chinese have been enjoying fried rice for centuries; that's hardly surprising when you consider that rice has been cultivated since around 4,000 BC. Yangzhou rice, a colorful Shanghai dish, can be traced back to the Sui dynasty (589 - 618). Of course, there are regional variations - a northern dish is more likely to contain ham and vegetables such as leeks and green onions, while Cantonese fried rice often features shrimp or barbecued pork. But the beauty of fried rice is that it is very adaptable. Like chow mein, it's a great dish to make on those nights when you're cleaning out the refrigerator and want to get rid of any leftover meat or vegetables.

Here is a basic recipe for fried rice that you can adapt depending on what vegetables you have on hand:

Fried Rice Recipe:
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
4 cups cold cooked rice
4 tablespoons oil
3 beaten eggs
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1 scallion, chopped fine

Directions:

Break rice apart with wet hands
Heat oil on high flame in wok. Stir-fry rice rapidly, turning spatula constantly until the rice is thoroughly heated.
Make a well in center of rice. Pour in beaten eggs. Stir eggs until they are scrambled. Then stir-fry eggs into the rice until thoroughly blended. Add salt and pepper. Stir-fry 30 seconds. Add scallion.

May be prepared in advance. May be frozen. Reheat before serving.

In the upper right-hand corner, in the linkbox under "More of this Feature" you'll find several recipes that illustrate different ways of making fried rice. The first recipe - Fried rice with ham - uses thick soy sauce to give the rice a darker color. This is the way fried rice is often served in American restaurants and take-out establishments. The second recipe - Sun Ya Fried Rice - is a Cantonese dish made with shrimp, roast pork, and chicken. The third is an authentic recipe for Yangzhou or Yangchow fried rice.

Finally, here are a few basic tips for cooking rice:

Always use long grain rice - short grain rice is used only for desserts and snacks in Chinese cooking.
Rinse the rice in water to get rid of excess starch.
Use 1 cup rice to 1 1/2 cups water. For example, when cooking 2 cups of rice you would use 3 cups of water.
Bring the rice to a boil at medium heat (about 4 on the dial).
When boiling, turn the heat down to medium low (about 3) and tilt the lid on the pot. This allows the steam to escape.
Let the water evaporate. When you can see craters (holes) in the rice, put the lid on tight.
Turn the heat to low, and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Fluff up the rice, and serve.

Answer 6

first of all the rice has to be cooked earlier,refrigarted & cold.
the eggs are cooked in a small amount of oil until they are the size of a pea, just keep stirring & chopping them.
add whatever, peas,meat etc. stir in the rice & add some soy sauce.

Answer 7

add a bit of soya sauce for flavour and cut up some small pieces of bacon and add to the rice. Gives it a real nice taste, but easy with the soya sauce cause it is quiet salty.

Answer 8

The other recipes are good but I think that it essential that the rice is cold before you cook it otherwise it absorbs too much oil. Make sure the oil is very very hot (smoking) and a touch od sesame oil is good.

Answer 9

cook the rice &peas first, then preheat the wok, add a little oil, crack egg (s) in and stir, add rice & peas , a little dark soy sauce, stir fry till done. mmmmm delicious
