BAKED "FRIED" RICE



Baked

If you don't have cold leftover rice around, this easy oven method will produce something very similar to the classic fried rice, with the perfect texture every time. Just like rice pilaf, the grains of rice get coated in fat before absorbing the cooking liquid, ensuring plump, tender, separate grains with no sticky clumps. Just adjust cooking time if using a different kind of rice or pan size. Garnish with green onions and serve with a runny poached egg on top if desired.

EMERGENCY "DUMP 'N BAKE" FRIED RICE



Emergency

Recipe video above. This recipe was conceived as an emergency, ultra low-effort side dish. Just dump all the ingredients in a pan, and shove it in the oven. End result: seasoned rice that's amazingly similar to wok-tossed fried rice! Every grain of rice is perfectly cooked and fluffy, and the bacon even goes golden!Uses less liquid than the usual 1 : 1.5 rice to water ratio because we need to factor in the water that comes off the frozen vegetables (a surprising amount!).Bonus: this recipe starts with uncooked rice. No need to plan ahead with day-old cooked rice like you usually do!Add in options - like eggs, chicken, see Notes.PLEASE DO NOT stray from recommended rice per recipe. If you do, I cannot guarantee outcome!

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups long grain white rice (, UNCOOKED (Note 1))
2 cups chicken or veg stock (, low sodium)
1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce ((Note 2))
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((dry sherry, mirin or sake, Note 3))
2 garlic cloves (, minced with crusher (straight into pan))
2 cups frozen diced veg ((carrots, peas, corn mix, Note 4 fresh veg))
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 1/4 cups / 180g bacon (uncooked) or ham (, chopped (I use store bought chopped bacon, Note 5))
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 cup green onion (, finely sliced (2 - 3 stems))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan).
  • Mix ingredients in baking dish: Place all Baked Fried Rice ingredients except bacon in a baking dish (~22 x 32cm / 9 x 13"). Stir, then spread rice evenly across pan.
  • Top with bacon: Scatter bacon across surface.
  • Bake covered 40 min: Cover with foil. Bake 40 minutes.
  • Bake uncovered 15 min: Remove foil. Bake uncovered 15 minutes - this will colour the bacon. Liquid should be absorbed, rice should be cooked (but will seem wet, will absorb and soften while resting).
  • Rest 10 min: Cover loosely with foil, stand for 10 minutes.
  • Fluff: Add green onion and sesame oil. Fluff rice with fork, marvel at how perfectly cooked the rice grains are. Serve!

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
1 medium onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, cored and roughly chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic, or to taste
1 cup peas (defrost if frozen)
1 tablespoon minced ginger, or to taste
3 to 4 cups cooked white rice, cooled

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup minced cilantro or scallions

  • Drain peas if necessary, and add them to skillet; cook, shaking pan, for about a minute, or until hot. Remove them to the bowl.
  • Put remaining oil in the skillet, followed by garlic and ginger. When the mixture is fragrant, about 15 seconds later, add the rice, breaking up clumps with a spoon as you go along and tossing it with oil.

SHEET PAN FRIED RICE



Sheet Pan Fried Rice image

Baking the rice on a sheet pan guarantees more of the crispy, crunchy bits that make fried rice the perfect food. For this recipe, the older and drier the rice the better. If you must start with freshly cooked grains, spread them out on a sheet pan to dry out in the refrigerator first.
