Yang Chow Fried Rice
- 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten and divided
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
- Dash of salt
- 1 3/4 cups thinly sliced green onions, divided
- 2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 cups cooked short-grain rice, chilled
- 1/4 cup lower-sodium soy sauce {Check for Gluten}
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of eggs; swirl to coat bottom of pan evenly. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon pepper and dash of salt; cook 3 minutes or until egg is done. Remove egg from pan; thinly slice, and set aside.
- Wipe pan clean with a paper towel. Heat remaining 4 teaspoons oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup onions, ginger, and garlic; stir-fry 30 seconds. Add remaining eggs and rice; stir-fry 3 minutes. Stir in half of reserved egg strips, remaining 3/4 cup onions, remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper, soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and peas; cook 30 seconds, stirring well to combine. Top with remaining egg strips and cilantro.
- Chilling the cooked rice is the key to making delicious fried rice. Allowing the rice to chill overnight (or at least for a few hours) helps eliminate excess moisture, keeping the grains firm and separate. If you use hot, freshly cooked rice, you're likely to end up with mushier results.
