Fried Rice

Being half asian, fluffy flavourful rice dishes like these are my comfort food. It feels satisfying without making you feel too bloated or heavy afterwards.

Ingredients

2,5 cups of white Arborio Rice

2 large Onions, diced

1 bushel of Spring Onions, chopped

200g Shiitake Mushrooms, sliced

500g jumbo Shrimp, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 long sweet red Peppers, diced

3 eggs

a swig of Soy sauce

a swig of Saké

1 tsp Sambal

Salt & Pepper

Cook the rice as directed.

Heat up some vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the spring onions. Set aside in a large bowl when soft.

Next get a little bowl and pour in a swig of soy sauce and sake, then stir in the sambal. Fry the shrimp and shiitake, pouring the soy sauce mixture over it. This doesn’t need to be fried very long - just make sure the shrimp is cooked. Then set aside into the big bowl with the spring onion.

Then beat the eggs and scramble fry them. Make sure there aren’t any pieces that are too big. Set aside.

Finally fry the red peppers and onions until really soft. Add the cooked rice and fried vegetables and egg to it and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well by gently tossing the whole or you’ll make a mush out of the soft rice. Make sure there are no clumps of white rice so that the flavours are well and evenly divided.
