CHAHAN (JAPANESE EGG FRIED RICE)

Steps:

• Heat the rice at the stove to keep it warm. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the wok and burning.
• Chop the onions into small cube pieces. Dice the char siu and carrots into small pieces. Cutting them into about the same size will allow them to cook evenly.
• Heat the frying pan, and pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Fry the onions, carrots, and bacon first. Once cooked, remove the cooked ingredients and place them aside for mixing into the chahan rice later.
• Then, heat the frying pan again, and pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Make sure the olive oil is spread evenly over the pan. Crack one raw egg into the pan and fry it.
• Before the egg becomes cooked, pour in the warm rice. Fry the rice and egg together and mix them well.
• Once the egg is cooked, add the chopped long green onion, char siu and carrots to the mix. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce and mix it all up.
• Finally, add salt and pepper to taste. You may also add 1 tablespoon of sake if desired. Make sure all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
• Serve the chahan in a rice bowl while it is still hot and fresh from the wok. Garnish the fried rice with seaweed flakes, sesame seeds, and pickled red ginger (beni shoga).
