I know, the list of ingredients looks overwhelming at first. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the ingredients are easy to find in most grocery stores. The oyster sauce will be in the Asian food aisle with the other sauces. It adds an amazing umami flavor to marinades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you just want to use leftover chicken or beef or pork instead of cutting and marinating the flank steak GO FOR IT! We enjoy \"leftover\" fried rice at least a few times a month with whatever I happen to have leftover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Making the Best Fried Rice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fried rice is easy to make, but there are two keys to cooking restaurant quality fried rice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. use cold rice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. cook in a searing hot wok or skillet<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Leftover rice is better than freshly steamed rice for fried rice because of the sticky starch. Even if you rinse the starch off of the rice, fresh rice can still stick to the pan and absorb the oil and make a mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cook once eat twice. Make a larger than normal batch of rice for one meal and save 5 cups to make Fried Rice another night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In a pinch you can make fresh rice just for this dish. Before stir frying, spread it on a baking sheet then stick it in the freezer for 10-20 minutes before preparing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I do not have a wok, but use my cast iron skillet on high. You want to sear the outside of the meat and rice instead of steaming it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Work in batches if you need to. If you overcrowd the pan it will cool off and you won't get the right consistency and texture to the meat and rice.<\/p>\n\n\n
