Beef Fried Rice With Onion And Shredded Carrot Recipe

Fried rice is one of the staple foods of chinese cuisine. You can use almost any ingredient you want in fried rice and this article is about one of literally dozens if not hundreds of fried rice recipes. You can use beef mince or julienned steak cut into thin strips. This is entirely up to you. You must use cold or leftover rice to prepare fried rice dishes. Its preferable to use leftover rice as explained below but if you dont have any leftover rice in the house, cook fresh rice but make sure it cools down. What i always advise is to cook the rice, place on a tray and loosen it with a spatula. Make sure it has completely cooled down before cooking otherwise the rice will become clumpy in texture and wont cook properly. For the vegetables, in this recipe we will use onions, frozen peas and shredded carrots. If you dont like this combination you can use sweetcorn, different coloured peppers, edamame beans, broad beans, diced baby corn, iceburg lettuce, bok choy or whatever else you can think of. I would marinade the beef before cooking and stir-fry it on its own until its nearly cooked before adding it into the fried rice. For the frozen peas, i would quickly blanch then before adding into the fried rice. If you decide to dice your carrot instead of shredding it then you will also need to blanch it before adding it into the fried rice. This beef fried rice recipe is very quick, easy and simple. Its also full of nutrition which makes it a perfect weeknight dinner dish.
