[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my quick and cheap go-to is kimchi fried rice. Heat oil in a pan, add kimchi, add left-over rice, season with sesame oil, pepper flakes, and top with an over easy egg made in the same pan. I sometimes add some cut up hotdog sausage. [/quote]

Wow! This is a clever recipe.

I sometimes convert the white rice you get from Asian restaurants into fried rice.  Very often, my kids will get chinese food and they do not finish the rice. The rice becomes solidified and dry inside the paper cartons and no one wants to eat it. This is how I use it.

- Remove the pyramid of solidified hardened rice from the container.  Put it in pot of boiling water. The rice will rehydrate, fluff up, loosen and settle in the bottom of the pot.

- Strain out the rice from the water with a colander-kind of spoon. (sorry, don't know what to call it, the kind used for frying).  In a frying pan, scramble two egg, throw in some pre-sauted veggis and sauted onions. Mix well. Add some roasted peanuts (planters), finely minced fresh garlic, chopped canned water chestnut, chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.  Mix well.  Dark soy sauce, sriracha, some brown sugar, sesame oil. Mix together and pour on rice. Mix well.

I liked the idea of adding some hotdog or protein to it. I think pork will taste so good with it. [/quote]
We always use old leftover takeout rice for fried rice. I heat minced ginger and garlic in sesame oil in a pan, then add the rice, using a spatula to break it into chunks that can be more easily smashed against the pan bottom to get nice and crispy. At that point, I push the rice to one side of the pan and use the other to cook or reheat any veggies or protein I want to use, then stir in a couple of eggs and whatever seasoning I’m using at the end.
