Amy's Vegetable and egg fried rice

By

China: Chinese cuisine is widely seen as representing one of the most diverse and richest culinary heritages. A meal in China normally consists of two components, carbohydrates: such as rice and noodles, alongside a form of protein, whether this being from meat, fish or vegetables. Chop sticks are also used traditionally in China, and a flat bottomed spoon for liquids (soups) The tradition to use chops stick came from the fact that in old China people thought of knives and forks as weapons for killing the animal, and it was classed as disrespectful to use this instruments at the table. Deserts are not often served in China, however there are sweet dishes brought out in the middle of the main course, to compliment the food.

The dish i have produced is vegetable and egg, fried rice. Egg fried rice is very popular in China, and is normally produced by using left over ingredients from previous dishes. In china they dont like any food going to waste and therfore try to use all of the ingredients they have. Egg fried rice does this , any left over vegetables used from the previous dish cooked can be used in egg fried rice and as it is a simple dish and easy to produce it is normally served along a meat as a mail meal.

Step 3

3: Once the water has reduced within the pan of rice lower the heat to a medium level and cover the pan, leave this until rice is cooked through.

Step 4

4: Heat the oil in a wok on a high heat; add the egg stirring it constantly, followed by adding the onion mushrooms and carrot. Add the rice and continue stirring, season with salt and pepper (optional) and add soya sauce (also optional).

Step 5

5: finally add the pakchoi leaves. The dish is then ready to be served.

Once the water within the pan of rice has reduced, cover the pan and put on a lower heat, allowing the rice to cook through, whilst you are preparing the other ingredients.
