Chinese Fried Rice

This recipe comes from Taiwan and it is one of my all time favorites! I adore fried rice. I could probably eat it every day and never tire of it. This particular recipe is from the postcard sender's mother. Best of all? It has bacon! The postcard above is of typical Taiwanese food.

The sender says: Dear Diana, I'm so glad that you love cooking! And, I want to share my mom's home cooking recipe - Fried Rice! I love this dish! Hope you love it too! Happy cooking & postcrossing :)

Chinese Fried Rice

Ingredients:

Day old boiled rice
Minced scallions
Bacon
Carrot
Onion
Canned corn
Scrambled Eggs
Soy Sauce (I use low sodium, gluten-free)

Directions:

1. Preheat a wok to medium heat. Pour oil in the bottom. Fry minced scallions, bacon, carrot, onion, canned corn, then eggs first.

2. Add the rice to the veggie and egg mixture. Pour the soy sauce on top. Stir all the ingredients until heated through and combined.

I have a version I make here at my home in Oklahoma. In a large skillet, I cook diced chicken, onion, garlic, frozen peas and carrots with a neutral oil (like light tasting olive oil or canola oil) and sesame oil, then season with a little Chinese 5 spice. I then I push the meat and veggies to the edges of the pan and scramble an egg in the center, then stir in rice. Top with soy sauce, toss to combine until heated through.

Bon apetit and Happy Postcrossing!
