Better-Then-Takeout Fried Rice

2/24/2019

INGREDIENTS:
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 eggs, whisked
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1 small white onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
4 cups cooked and chilled short grain rice
4 green onions, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon teaspoons oyster sauce

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in large sauté pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add egg, and cook until scrambled, stirring occasionally. Remove egg, and transfer to a separate bowl.
  2. Add an additional 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add carrots, onion, and garlic. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion and carrots are soft.
  3. Increase heat to high, add in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. Immediately add the rice, green onions, soy sauce and oyster sauce, and stir until combined. Continue stirring for an additional 3 minutes to fry the rice.
  4. Add the scrambled eggs and stir to combine. Remove from heat, and serve immediately.​

P.S. Most Fried Rice recipes include peas - I am not a big fan of peas so I don't make it with them. If you would like to make it traditionally, add 1/2 cup of peas when you add the carrots, onions, and garlic.

INGREDIENTS
olive oil, for cooking
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup diced celery

1 cup diced carrots
2 cups diced ham steaks
4 cups green dried split peas
1 tablespoon summer savory or dried thyme

10 cups chicken stock
freshly ground black pepper

  2. Cover and cook soup on medium simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 - 60 minutes, or until the peas are nice and soft.
  3. Stir, mashing the mixture up against the side of the pot with the back of a spoon to create some pea puree along with the chunks. Taste and season with salt and pepper if it needs it, and serve hot.
