Chinese Rice
Fluffy, flavorful Chinese Rice, a simple and versatile side dish perfect for pairing with stir-fries, grilled chicken, or enjoying on its own.
Ingredients
- 2 cups long-grain white rice uncooked
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
Instructions
- Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Do not lift the lid.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add frozen peas and carrots and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
- Push vegetables to one side, pour beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble eggs until cooked, then mix with vegetables.
- Add cooked rice to the skillet. Pour soy sauce over rice and stir to combine.
- Add chopped green onions and stir to distribute evenly.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat through and meld flavors. Serve hot.
