Plant-based Fried Rice

Fried rice is a popular street food item of East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian cuisines. And its popularity is not just in its flavor, but its resourcefulness. A traditional recipe calls for day-old rice and chopped left-overs. But if executed correctly results in beautiful alchemy of flavors, textures, and temperature.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup, Water
• 1 cup, Jasmine Rice[Lotus Foods]
• 2 tbsp, Cooking Oil
• ½ tsp, Minced Garlic
• ½ tsp, Minced Ginger
• 1 tsp, Tamari (or Soy Sauce)
• ½ each, Small Diced Yellow Onion
• 2 tbsp, Jus Egg [plant-based egg]
• 1/2 cup, Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms
• 1 each, Roma Tomato sliced
• 3 tbsp, Picked Cilantro
• 1 tsp, Tiger Sa Te

Instructions

Cook Jasmine Rice

1. Place 1 cup of rice grains into a fine-mesh strainer
2. Rinse rice thoroughly under running, cold faucet water
3. Rub the rice grains between your hands to release rice starch
4. Rinse rice until the water runs clear [3- 5 minutes]
5. Drain rice with a fine-mesh strainer
6. Add washed rice into a small pot
7. Add 1.5 cups of water into the small pot with rice
8. Place the pot on medium heat
9. Once the pot comes to a gentle simmer, place the pot on low heat. And cover pot with a lid
10. Cook rice for 10 minutes stir every 5 minutes
11. Take the pot of rice off the heat after 10 minutes. But make sure to keep a lid on the pot for another 5 minutes. The rice at this point is almost cooked and will need time to finish cooking off the heat.
