20-Minute Chorizo Fried Rice
I must admit, I’m one of those who thinks that making fried rice is difficult and time consuming until last Monday, when I decided to wake up early and give fried rice another chance. I’m surprised because it only took me roughly 20 minutes to cook this complicated-looking dish. So, for those of you who are always in a hurry, feel free to try this recipe out.
Ingredients:
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 cups of cold cooked rice, hand-mashed
- 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables
- 2 pieces of chinese chorizo, chopped
Procedure:
- Beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick pan with cooking oil.
- Saute the garlic until brown and then add the chorizo and mixed veggies.
- Add the beaten egg and mix until the egg is cooked.
- Add the rice, season with additional salt and pepper depending on your taste and stir often until cooked.
Timing:
- Preps: 3 minutes
- Step 2 to 4: 5 minutes
- Step 5: 12 minutes
Smoked Fish (Tinapa) Fried Rice
Woke up a little earlier than usual today to prepare an awesome breakfast for hb =) He has been requesting for fried rice for quite some time now for breakfast instead of bread so I did so today.
Since I have smoked fish in the fridge, I decided to use it in my fried rice instead of the usual chorizo and he seemed quite pleased with the outcome.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of cold cooked rice (kaning lamig), mashed by hands to separate rice grains
- 1 to 2 smoked fish, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup mixed vegetables (carrot, peas, corn)
- 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
- Salt and pepper
Procedure:
- Beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat pan and add half of the cooking oil and cook the egg.
- Set aside cooked egg and chop into thin strips.
- Heat pan again and add the cooking oil.
- Saute garlic, smoked fish, mixed vegetables, and egg for 2-3 minutes before adding the rice.
- Season with additional salt and pepper depending on your taste and stir often for 8 more minutes.
