The Best Fried Rice
- 1 12 cups raw basmati rice, cooked at least 1 day in advance to make about 4 1/2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup raw small shrimp, shelled,deveined and split in half lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- salt
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 12 cup peanut oil or 12 cup vegetable oil or 12 cup corn oil, divided
- 12 cup thinly sliced Chinese sausage (4 small) or 12 cup cooked ham, diced
- 3 eggs
- 12 cup cooked green peas, fresh or frozen
- salt
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 34 cup fresh bean sprout
- 12 cup chopped scallion, green part included
- Fluff the rice so that it's not sticking together; set aside.
- Mix shrimp, baking soda and salt to taste; set aside for at least 15 minutes; rinse and pat dry.
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wok or skillet until almost smoking; add shrimp and stir until pink, about 30 seconds; remove and drain in a sieve set over a bowl.
- Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in the wok; add sausages or ham and stir until heated through; add rice, stir rapidly until heated and not browned.
- Quickly make a well in the center of the rice and add the eggs, constantly stirring; when they are softly scrambled, start incorporating them by stirring in a circular fashion.
- When rice and eggs are mixed, add peas and salt to taste; stir in oyster sauce and shrimp, tossing rice to blend everything; stir in bean sprouts and stir another 30 seconds; add scallions and serve immediately.
