Pork Chicken Or Shrimp Fried Rice Recipes

EASY SHRIMP AND PORK FRIED RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl, season the pork chunks and shrimp with salt and pepper.
• Prepare a non-stick wok on high heat and sauté the shrimp in vegetable oil for 3 minutes or less.
• When the shrimp is cooked, set aside.
• Using the same wok, add more oil and sauté the pork chunks until it is fully cooked.
• Later, transfer the cooked pork onto a separate bowl
• Then, pour some more vegetable oil into a wok lower to medium heat.
• Add in the frozen peas, diced onions and garlic.
• Stir fry them until the peas are soft and the onions are almost clear.
• Once that is done, add in the cooked rice and mix them together. Constantly mix the ingredients so that the rice does not stick to the wok.
• Add more oil if needed then add in the soy sauce and sesame oil and keep mixing.
• Then add in the beaten eggs. Stir well so that the egg scrambles and combines well with the rice.
• Add in salt and pepper to taste.
• Finally, throw in the already sautéed pork and shrimp.
• Stir for about 2 to 4 minutes, ensuring the egg is cooked all the way and that the ingredients are well mixed.
• Transfer the fried rice onto a plate or bowl, top it with some chopped green onions and serve!

FRIED BROWN RICE

Steps:

• Brown rice is easy to cook. We have detailed instructions in our post on How to Make Perfect Brown Rice, either on the stove, or in any rice cooker.
• If you are making brown rice fresh the same day, let the cooked rice cool completely before using it. It's best to transfer the rice from the pot to a sheet pan and fluff it with a fork, so it can dry out and cool simultaneously.
• Day-old brown rice also works nicely, as cold rice clumps are drier and easily broken apart in the wok. Simply take the brown rice out of the refrigerator, wet your hands with a little water, and break up any clumps so you have individual rice grains. Rinse your hands with a little more water if rice sticks to your hands.
• If using beef, chicken, or pork, add 1 tablespoon water, 1¼ teaspoons dark mushroom soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to the meat. Mix until all the liquid is absorbed by the meat to tenderize and add moisture. If you're using shrimp, just omit the dark mushroom soy sauce.
• Next, mix in 1 teaspoon cornstarch and set aside. We made a version with beef, but you can pick any meat of your choosing or go vegetarian with a vegetable fried brown rice.
• Mixing your sauce ahead of time is much easier than adding everything individually to a hot wok. In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons hot water and ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar until dissolved. Stir in ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, and ½ teaspoon MSG if using. Set aside.
• Heat the wok until just smoking. Spread two tablespoons of vegetable oil evenly around the wok, and add the beaten eggs. Turn the heat down and stir the eggs until scrambled. Transfer back to the same bowl, and set aside.
• Heat the wok until smoking. Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated meat to the wok. Spread it out in one single layer, and sear for 30 seconds on each side. Scoop it back into the bowl and set aside.
• With the heat on high, add the chopped onions to the wok (there should be some oil remaining from searing the meat). Cook until translucent. If using fresh carrots, add them at the same time you add the onions. If using frozen carrots, add them after the onions turn translucent.Continue stir frying until the carrots are heated through.
• Add the cooked brown rice. Your heat should be really high at this point to prevent sticking. Use your metal wok spatula to stir-fry the rice, scraping from the bottom of the wok to prevent sticking. This is an essential technique for fried rice.
• Once the brown rice is warmed (after 1 to 2 minutes of stir-frying), pour the prepared sauce evenly over the rice. Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes to evenly distribute the sauce.
• Add in the seared meat. Spread 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok, and give everything a quick stir.
• Next, stir in the scrambled eggs. Then, stir in the frozen peas until heated through. Toss in the chopped scallions and stir fry for another 15 seconds. Use a clean spoon to taste the rice, and re-season with more soy sauce or salt if needed.
• Plate and serve immediately.

RICE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN, PORK, AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place eggs in a small saucepan, and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat; let stand, covered, for 13 minutes. Drain. Cover with cold water, and let stand 2 minutes. Peel and quarter eggs. Cover, and refrigerate.
• Fill a large bowl with warm water. Add noodles, and let soak for 15 minutes, stirring to separate as they soften. Drain.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy stockpot over medium-high heat. Season chicken and shrimp with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook chicken, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add shrimp to stockpot, and cook, stirring, until bright pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to another plate.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add additional oil if necessary. Add onion, carrots, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add pork, and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in fish sauce, and cook 1 minute. Add cabbage, and toss to coat. Add noodles, chicken, and stock, and gently stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most of the stock has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand, partially covered, 5 minutes. Add shrimp and lemon juice, gently stirring to avoid breaking noodles.
• Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with scallion. Arrange hard-boiled eggs around noodles, and serve warm or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

FRIED RICE (PORK CHICKEN, SHRIMP OR PLAIN)

• 1. Cook rice according to directions (minute rice works fine).Place 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet or wok and stir fry meat until done. Remove cooked meat from pan and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet and scramble eggs until done (mashing fine). Add remaining ingredients, mixing well. Return meat to skillet and stir until heated through.

CHICKEN, SHRIMP, AND PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Combine chicken, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, Shaoxing rice wine, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a bowl. Mix and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Place shrimp in a separate bowl and season with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and set aside for 15 minutes.
• Remove 1/4 of the pineapple lengthways, leaving the green leaves intact for presentation, if you like; scoop out the pineapple flesh using a spoon. Chop pineapple flesh into small pieces and set aside. Place hollow pineapple on a baking tray.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Heat remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a wok over high heat. Add garlic, carrots, and bell peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add prawns and cook for 1 to 2 minutes; add cooked rice and pineapple, mixing well to combine. Stir in beaten egg until cooked through.
• Spoon fried rice into prepared pineapple shell; bake in the preheated oven until piping hot, about 10 minutes. Bring pineapple to the table and let everyone help themselves!
