Over the weekend, Phil had a poker game with some of his buddies, I was pleasantly surprised when one of our friends Minh, brought me a bag of Asian rice. “Freshly picked from the fields of Asia” he said. As you can imagine I was more than excited to try it out.
I love teppanyaki, which is a Japanese style of cooking using grills/heated flat surfaces to cook a bunch of different foods in front of guests; Basically a big cooking show right at your table. Tonight I attempted (using my special rice) to recreate the vegetable fried rice we have had at the Japanese restaurant.
Vegetable Fried Rice
I cup white rice, prepared
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 inch ginger, minced
1 onion, diced
1 cup fresh mushrooms
¼ cup carrots, sliced thin
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
1 green onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
In a large skillet heat oil, add onions, ginger and garlic and allow to fry for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and carrots and good for another 5-7 minutes. Add cooked rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper and stir. Garnish with cilantro and green onions.
