Country-style fried rice, a hearty and versatile dish, transforms simple ingredients into a comforting meal. Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering it.
Start with cold, day-old rice—its dry texture prevents sogginess. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Sauté 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 chopped shallot until fragrant. Add 1 cup diced vegetables (carrots, peas, and bell peppers work well) and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Push veggies to the side, crack 2 eggs into the wok, and scramble lightly. Mix eggs with veggies, then add 2 cups of rice, breaking up clumps. Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, tossing to coat evenly. For extra flavor, mix in cooked diced chicken, ham, or shrimp.
Cook for 3–4 minutes, until rice is heated through and slightly crispy. Garnish with chopped scallions or fried onions. Serve hot as a standalone dish or with a side of pickles.
The key is high heat and quick cooking—keep ingredients moving to avoid sticking. Customize with your favorite veggies or proteins for a personalized twist!
