Stretching out rice
Want to stretch out your supply of rice ?Try making Chinese fried rice. It takes a little bit of time but it is a good way to make your rice last longer AND to use odds and ends of vegetables.
How I make my fried rice.
I always cook my rice with a chicken bouillion cube. Set aside when cooked.
1 lg carrot, cut into small cubes
2 spring onions, chopped
1/4 cup of frozen peas, cooked
2 large fried eggs
3 pieces of bacon, fried and chopped
a few dashes of soy sauce
a dash or 2 of blk pepper
sesame seed oil (this is the real secret of GREAT fried rice)
par-boil carrots and peas, set aside
in large frying pan, add a bit of veg oil, toss in the chopped green onions, cook for 1 minute,
Add rice, and fry for a minute or so.
Add a very small amount of soy sauce. stir well.
Add the vegetables, bacon and eggs. stir
Sprinkle on the sesame seed oil just before serving.
Yummy stuff.

Re: Stretching out rice
Bakerman, 2 questions for you please.When you say soy sauce, do you mean dark soy or light soy sauce? as I read somewhere that using the wrong soy sauce in fried rice affects the taste. Also, can I please ask - when you say a bit of soy sauce... do you mean a half teaspoon? a full teaspoon?
Sorry to sound so dense but I don't want to put too much in and spoil the taste.
Thank you.

As per the exact amount, I don't measure. Don't worry about it. Just use barely enough to VERY SLIGHTLY color the rice.
