2 tsp salt
½ tsp dry sherry
2 Tbs onion – minced
5 Tbs cooking oil
4 cups cooked rice
1tsp Chinese brown gravy syrup or ½ tsp Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master
1 cup bean sprouts pr the shredded thick part of lettuce as a substitute
1. Beat eggs with salt and sherry
2. Heat oil in Joyce Chen Stir Fry Pan or Wok over medium high. Stir in minced onion and then the egg mixture. Scramble and break into small pieces until quite dry. Add rice, brown syrup, nd bean sprouts. Stir constantly until the ingredients are well blended and thoroughly heated about 8 to 10 minutes.
3. One-half cup diced or shredded cooked meat such as pork, hamm, chicken, shrimp or beef may be added with the rice, if desired.
For lighter, fluffier fried rice use day old, cooked long grain white rice. Fried rice is the way Chinese use leftover rice. Never use soy sauce as it tends to make rice too soft.
