How to make chines rice?

To make Chinese rice, you can prepare a classic Chinese fried rice dish. Here's a basic recipe to guide you:



Ingredients:

  • 2 cups long-grain white rice (preferably day-old or cooled in the refrigerator)
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil (such as vegetable or peanut oil)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, etc.)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, but adds great flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions (scallions) for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. For best results, use day-old rice, or you can cook the rice a few hours ahead and let it cool in the refrigerator.
  2. In a wok or large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and chopped onions. Stir-fry for a minute until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Add the mixed vegetables to the wok and continue stir-frying for a few minutes until they are cooked and tender. You can also add any other ingredients you like, such as diced bell peppers or cooked meat (e.g., diced chicken, shrimp, or char siu/pork).
  4. Push the vegetables to one side of the wok, creating a space for the eggs. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble them until they're cooked through.
  5. Mix the scrambled eggs with the vegetables in the wok.
  6. Add the cooked rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry everything together to combine the ingredients evenly.
  7. Drizzle the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using) over the rice and mix well until the sauces are evenly distributed. You can adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce according to your taste preference.
  8. Season the fried rice with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that soy sauce already contains salt, so be cautious with the additional salt.
  9. Continue stir-frying the rice for a few more minutes, allowing it to heat through and develop the flavors.
  10. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions (scallions) before serving.


Your Chinese fried rice is now ready to be enjoyed! You can serve it as a standalone dish or as a side with other Chinese dishes. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite ingredients to make it even more delicious and unique. Enjoy!
