The whatever fried rice

Fried rice is easy. The two tricks are: use day old cooked rice and ginger. I use whatever vegetables there are in the fridge to make my fried rice. If there is chinese bbq pork, that's even better. If not, eggs will do for protein.

Ingredients

Canola oil
Sliced shallots
Minced ginger and garlic
Day old cooked rice
Chinese BBQ pork
Frozen peas and corn
Carrots shredded
Mushroom sliced
Tamari
Mirin
Salt and pepper to taste

Cilantro and fried shallots as garnishes

1. Heat oil in wok. Lightly saute shallots, ginger and garlic.

2. Add BBQ pork and rice. Stir fry to break up the lumps in the rice.

3. Add a splash of mirin and tamari. Throw in the vegetables.

4. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Garnish with fried shallots and cilantro.


To substitute BBQ pork with egg, just scramble an egg or two on the side and throw the eggs in together with the vegetables.
