Pork (Chicken, or Shrimp) Fried Rice

Tee Lee's Note:

I combined a few recipes together to come up with fried rice that really hits the spot. This recipe is great for using up leftover meat, and I love the bit of flavor from the sesame oil and oyster sauce. Adjusting the recipe for fewer or more people is easy. I often serve this with Egg Foo Yung (For 2) With Oriental Sauce.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 cups instant brown rice, uncooked
• 1 3/4 cups water
• 1 beef bouillon cube
• 1 chicken bouillon cube
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1 cup lean pork or 1 cup chicken or 1 cup shrimp, cooked and diced
• 1/2 cup baby carrots, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup frozen sweet peas
• 4 green onions, sliced
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten

Directions:

1. Bring water and bullion cubes to a boil.
2. Add rice and return to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 5 minutes.
3. Remove rice from heat, let stand 3 minutes. (The rice should be slightly undercooked so that it won't be sticky to work with).
4. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil.
5. Heat oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat.
6. Add rice and meat to pan and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Pour soy sauce mixture over rice and cook about 2 minutes.
8. Add carrots, peas, green onions and lightly beaten eggs to pan.
9. Cook until eggs are done and carrots are beginning to soften, about 4-5 minutes.

For flavor and ease it gets 5 stars! For technique, it get's 3.5 stars. I followed the recipe exactly and found the way they tell you to add the eggs, makes it a mushy mess. So next time i will definatley make a spot in the middle of my wok to scramble the egg in and will not just pour it over top to make a mushy eggy mess. Overall though, the recipe is great!

I have a house-full of picky eaters and they absolutely loved this recipe! I topped it with a shrimp sauce that I found the recipe for and it was GREAT! The only thing I did differently was I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and I cooked my eggs before adding them to the rice. I will definitely be making this again...thanks!
