Recipes: Simple suppers

Chinese Fried Rice

Discovered the secret of making this tasty fried rice not long ago. I "cooked the rice with stock" in advance and kept in the fridge over night before frying it. It tasted as good as from the restaurant.

Ingredients (2 persons):
1 cup Long Grain Rice
1 1/2 cup Water
1 tsp Dashi or Fish/Vegetable Stock
Pinch of salt

2tbsp Cooking Oil
1 Egg, slightly beaten


1/2 cup Shelled Frozen Prawn (small), defrosted
4 Asparagus, chopped
1/4 cup Corn Kernel
(Asparagus and corn kernel can be replaced by mixed veggies)
Freshly crushed pepper to taste
1/2 tsp Sesame Oil (optional)

Directions:
-Wash rice until the water is running clear. Add 1.5 cup water and soak for 30mins.
-Add in dashi and salt. Cook the rice following rice cooker/microwave's instruction.
-Once the rice is cooked, let it stand in the cooker for 5-10 mins to keep the moist in. Keep completely cooled rice in the fridge.

-Heat oil in a non-stick pan, add in egg slowly and whisk rapidly to make small pieces of omelet. Stir for about 1 minute.
-Add in prawn, asparagus and corn kernel, stir for 1 minute.
-Add in cooked rice and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
-Add in sesame oil and pepper. Mix well and serve it warm.

Tips:
-Over night rice make better fried rice - non sticky.
-Wash rice till water running clear to reduce stickiness.
-Taste the cooked rice before frying, to check if extra seasoning needed.
