How to home cook an authentic Chinese fried-rice?
Most of the Chinese fried-rice I have eaten outside China has no Chinese flavor. The worst I normally get is from the so called Chinese food stall in the super market or the Chinese restaurant itself. They are all called Chinese fried-rice which actually are not. How then do we cook a good authentic dish of Chinese fried-rice at home?
Chinese fried-rice is made up of about 80 % rice and 20 % ingredients. We can get a pack of white rice and some ingredients we like easily from any super market near by our house. Since rice is the major portion of Chinese fried-rice, we must first learn to cook a pot of good rice.
We may use an electrical rice cooker and follow the instruction to cook rice. But if you do not have a rice cooker, use an ordinary cooking pot and follow the steps below:
Double or triple the rice portion if 2 or three persons are to serve.
Prepare ingredients.
Do not use anything that is western in nature such as,
Oil category – butter, cheese, olive oil.
Sauce category – tomato sauce, mustard sauce, any type of salad sauce.
Vegetable – broccoli, carrot, parsley.
Meat – salami, lamb, beef.
Use, instead, Chinese oriented ingredient like,
Oil category – ordinary vegetable or bean base cooking oil.
Sauce – Soya bean sauce, fish sauce.
Vegetable – cabbage, onion, tomato, Chinese mushroom.
Meat – pork, shrimp, Chinese sausage, dried shrimp.
There is no special rule as to what type of ingredients you should use and how much. It really depends on what do you feel like eating and how much you like to have. Once you have all you need, do the following:
