Hoisin Fried Rice

Step 1

Turn the stove to high. Place wok with nothing in it on the heat, about 3-4 minutes. Pour in vegetable oil and heat until the oil shimmers, and is very hot.

Step 2

Meanwhile in a small bow, beat the eggs; add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 3

Once the oil in the wok is ready, add the garlic and ginger, and stir fry until fragrant. Make sure not to burn your garlic or it will get bitter. Add the white part of the green onion, and stir fry 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the rice, breaking up the lumps using a wooden spatula, and stir fry until rice is loosened.

Step 5

Pour in the light soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, pepper and mixed vegetables to stir fry and mix well. Continue to stir the rice for 5 or so minutes until the rice begins to get browned and appear dry.

Step 6

Push the rice to one side and pour the beaten egg into the empty side of the wok. Scramble until dry. Mix into rice.

Step 7

Fry another minute, remove to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if you like.
