Every time I get the discada out lately it decided to rain. Sure enough got out the disc and a big thunder storm rolled in. Rain drops the size of five gallon buckets! So I took refuge in my garage. After things dried up I fried some rice. The other day I smoked up a hunk of loin char sui style. Wife likes brown rice so that is what I used. Any rice will work, the key is to get the moisture out. This was say old. I spread it on a sheet pan and run a fan over it for an hour or so before frying. This trick will work with day old or new rice. It makes a big difference. When frying start with a high temp surface. Add 1-2 tablespoon of oil (this was 2 cups uncooked rice to begin with.) When it is shimmering add rice and quickly stir. Spread rice out as thin as possible. This will help remove the moisture. When the rice is done move it aside or to another dish stir fry your veggies. This may be a multi step process depending on how each veggie cooks. Add those that take the longest then as they get done add your other veggies. Add meat if using meat. Incorporate rice into veggies and meat. Push all aside, add 1 tablespoon oil and drop two-four eggs into oil, stir fast to break into small pieces. When scrambled incorporate into rice. Add sauce if using. For this I used oyster sauce and a bit of fish sauce.
Right before the rain started.
My welding table made a good staging area!
Mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, peas, carrots, shallots, garlic, fresh ginger. Bean sprouts were added right at the end.
Wife didn't want meat so I fried the char sui separately for the boys and I.
Dinner is served!
