Fried rice

Cook your rice (I prefer sushi rice) well beforehand and throw it in the fridge for an hour or so, let it cool. In a wok, throw in some sesame oil and bring to a medium-high heat. After it's hot, throw in minced shallot, garlic, and yellow onion along with a sliced chili pepper if you like some heat. Cook until tender and then move it over to the edge of the wok. Throw in a couple of beaten eggs and, when cooked, incorporate it back into the mix and add your carrot/pea mix (if you even want it). Then, add some butter to the wok and throw in your rice and incorporate everything well. Dash with soy sauce to taste and chili oil if you like a little extra heat.

Good luck.

What they both said. With frozen green peas.

cook the rice at least a day ahead

Or throw it in the fridge/freezer until it's nice and cool. But ideally, cooking it the day ahead of time is the way to go. I never plan that far ahead

Bok choy is a good addition to fried rice imo

I do Kimchee fried rice which is stupid simple and blows any other fried rice away. I slice up super thin onion and jalapeno to mix in and then throw in fresh mint, cilantro and basil.

I use a big frying pan and works fine. Just need to have the surface area. Biggest key is cook the rice beforehand and refrigerate it.

No mention of fish sauce?

I always add a teaspoon.

And I like using the mixed bag of frozen peas, carrots, and corn.

Love fish sauce but prefer oyster sauce for fried rice.
