I fixed some rice the other night and since my rice cooker has a minimum setting of “enough for an army”, I had plenty left over. So, I bought myself some soy sauce and found a recipe online for fried rice that I followed exactly.
Well…
The recipe called for “day old” rice – and mine was closer to three days. I don’t own a wok so I made do with a skillet.
It called for a cup of frozen carrots and peas – thawed – but I had just enough broccoli and cauliflower mix and figured that would do instead of opening a new bag. I misread the labels on the microwave and was well into a “cook” instead of a “thaw” before I got it stopped.
It called for sesame oil, but I only had olive oil.
And I was out of eggs so I skipped those two scrambled that it called for.
Of course, the green onions got skipped too.
I used slightly more soy sauce than it called for. And I added imitation crab instead of the chicken or shrimp.
But other than that, it was exactly the same.
