Simple Brown Fried Rice

asian, dinner

ingredients

  • 2 cups dry brown rice
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and or corn
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (careful not to overdo it, this should be enough)
  • 4 eggs, whisked
  • dash sesame oil, dash olive oil

instructions

  1. Rinse the rice thoroughly. Rinse three times, wash (soak 10 sec while agitating then drain) four times, rinse once more. Should be good.
  2. Cook the brown rice. Place the 2 cups of rinsed rice in a small pot with 4 cups of water and 1 tsp olive oil. Bring the water to boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer about 45 minutes (until rice is tender and has absorbed all the water).
  3. When the rice is done, cool it off. You can wait it out or place it in the freezer (but careful not to freezer burn the rice!)
  4. Fry the rice! Fry in two batches, each time with a dash of sesame oil and a dash olive oil (or a little Pam). Fry. Patience can take the place of extra oil. It’s not fried until the rice is visibly different. Remove from the pan.
  5. Cook the eggs, add the rice, add the corn. Finally, add the soy sauce and mix thoroughly and WAIT before you think about adding extra soy sauce. Don’t ruin it!
