Yang Chow Fried Rice

No meal in our everyday life that we have no rice on our tables. Meal won't be complete without it! Yang chow fried rice is my favorite rice recipes, as it includes many kinds of bits and pieces of food. Easy way to perk it up is to add some bits of whatever food you want, from shrimp, roast pork, ham or chorizo and it becomes a meal in itself!

 

   

5 tbs cooking oil

5 cups cooked rice

4 large eggs, beaten

4 ounces frozen peeled shrimp
6 ounces roast pork or ham
1 medium onion, diced

1 small carrot, cut into pieces

2 sticks spring onion, sliced into thin coin
1/2 cup peas, fresh or frozen
Salt and ground pepper, to taste

 

Marinate shrimps in salt and pepper for few minutes and stir fry until they turn pink. Push the shrimp up to the side and stir fry ham briefly. Mix them and remove both from the pan. Set Aside. Clean out the pan.

It's time for the  veggies. Stir fry diced onion, then add the peas (thawed) until it soften, then add in the carrots and spring onion. Continue frying until the peas turn bright green and remove from the pan.

Heat the pan again, add the cooked rice, stirring to separate the individual grains. Add the beaten egg, until all rice are covered with egg.

Add the cooked shrimp and ham, then vegetable mix (onion, peas, carrots) into the pan. Mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Serve hot. Partner with your favorite "ulam"
