Char Siu Fried Rice
Char Siu Fried Rice is another classic takeout dish from my childhood. My family used to always order it when we went to takeout. Ever since I learned how to make char siu at home, I have been making this fried rice with the leftovers. It is very tasty and filling with the chopped up char siu and you can have it ready in only 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
Fried rice
- 5 tablespoons neutral oil (divided)
- 3 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 cups char siu (Chinese bbq pork) (chopped into ½-inch thick pieces)
- 5 cups cooked rice
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat a wok over high heat until it is lightly smoking. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl it around the wok. Add the eggs and scramble for 1 minute or until the eggs are just set. It is okay if some parts are running. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Let it heat up again, then add onions and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they are translucent. Add the frozen vegetables and char siu pork, and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is warm. You can hover the back of your hand over the ingredients to check if they are warm.
- Add the cooked rice and stir fry for 6-7 minutes, breaking up the rice into individual grains as you go.
- Drizzle in the sauce mixture and cook for another minute until the rice is evenly coated.
- Turn off the heat, add scrambled eggs, and drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Mix well and transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy!
