House Special Fried Rice

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the thin strips of chicken, small shrimps, water, shaoxing rice wine, and salt. Mix until well combined and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Step 2

Add the cornstarch and mix until evenly combined and no more dry cornstarch is visible. Finish by adding the oil and mix evenly. Allow the proteins to marinade for 5 to 10 minutes as you prepare the rest of your ingredients.

Step 3

Once ready to cook the protein, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the marinated proteins to the boiling water and immediately break them up by stirring vigorously with chopsticks or a fork.

Step 4

Allow the proteins to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the shrimps are a vibrant pink/orange.

Step 5

When the proteins are cooked, strain well and set aside until needed.

Step 6

Break apart the rice by gently rubbing it between your hands. You can do this with gloves on or in a resealable bag. Set aside once done.

Step 7

In a wok or large pan over medium high heat, add about 1 tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced Chinese roast pork, onion, peas and carrots. Stir fry briefly until the onion starts to turn clear and the pork fragrant, about 10 to 15 seconds.

Step 8

Push the pork and veggies to one side of wok and add a couple tablespoon of oil to the other side. Let the oil heat up until hot, then add the beaten egg and scramble until just cooked.*If possible, tilt or offset the wok/pan so that only the side with the oil is getting heated. This will help prevent the pork and veggies from burning.*

Step 9

Add the prepared day old rice and cooked shrimps and chicken. Toss and stir fry briefly to combine. Drizzle the Shaoxing rice wine around the wok and stir fry for about 15 to 30 seconds or until the rice is fragrant and the alcohol is cooked off.

Step 10

Season the house special fried rice with soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir fry and toss everything until evenly combined and the rice is even in color.

Step 11

Finish by adding sesame oil (if desired) and sliced green onions. Stir fry the fried rice for a few more seconds.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy the house special fried rice while it's hot and garnish with more sliced green onion if you wish.
