Notes
Prep Time: includes all the chopping & frying...
About 90 min is rather generous: you can do a lot of action in parallel or rely on existing ingredients lounging in your fridge e. g. cooked & fried vegetables, leftovers of chicken breast...
Cooked rice: 100 g cooked rice are 25 g uncooked rice i. e. it’s always 4x from uncooked rice to cooked rice.
You may adapt the amount of rice to add to your fried rice. If you like more rice in it feel free to add more (i. e. go for the 1200 g!)
Frying: I used a nonstick pan for frying the eggs, the vegetables, the meat & the seafood. You may also use a wok for all the action before combining everything into fried rice.
Finishing: Use as much wine as you think is necessary - you may also add some water if you think it’s getting too sticky!
Ingredients: In general you may drop some of the ingredients... it’s also a fried rice w/o meat or w/o seafood or w/o eggs...
You may store the fried rice in the fridge at least for up to 3 days.
You may freeze your fried rice; when defrosting use the microwave.
