Guest cook Benjamin is in town. I've been hearing about his Egg Fried Rice from a few who have had it and asked him to fire me up a batch. It does not disappoint!
Ingredients:
10 eggs
2 shallots, diced
8 cloves garlic, minced
8 green onions, chopped. Separate the white and green parts.
2 cups chopped carrots
1 large onion, diced
8 slices of sandwich ham, diced
3 cups cooked rice (make it the day before and let it dry out)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2--3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1-2 tablespoons fish sauce (or substitute with soy sauce)
white pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to taste
DIrections:
1. In a large pan, scramble eggs in butter over medium heat until soft scrambled. Remove and set aside.
2. Over high heat, add olive oil, garlic, shallots, and white parts of green onions. Sautee about 1-2 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant.
3. Add diced ham and mix together. Sautee an additional few minutes. Add rice and mix together. Cook 3-5 minutes (longer for crispier rice).
4. Add Sriracha sauce (more for spicer...that's the way Benjamin likes it). Mix well, scraping up from the bottom. Add scrambled eggs back in and mix well.
5. Add fish sauce (or soy sauce), crushed red pepper flakes, and white pepper to taste. Mix well.
6. Lastly, just before taking off heat, mix in carrots and onion.
7. Serve with the green tops of the green onion as garnish.
