Fried Rice (Cha Beung)

So I know fried rice should be fairly easy, but when it comes down to it I find it very hard to find some good fried rice.

First of all, I don't like my rice mushy so you need to use at least "day old" rice. Whenever there is rice leftover, it is just compiled in to the fridge. Trust me, the texture is much better.

You can practically fry anything with rice. It usually depends what is around the house. Let's see what we found this time...


Just eggs, peas, some onions, dill, etc... My parents have some obsession with dill lately. They put it in everything.

Ingredients:
  • Cooked rice
  • Frozen peas
  • Eggs
  • Sweet soy sauce
  • Garlic
  • Shallot (or regular white onion)
  • Green Onions
  • Cilantro
  • Dill
Make sure the rice is cooked and and has been allowed to harden in the fridge (day or more old is the best). Defrost the peas.

Fry the eggs thinly, almost like a pancake. Then slice the eggs in to thin strips.

In a pan fry the garlic and shallot in oil. Add the rice. Pour in the soy sauce to flavor (taste accordingly). Mix the rice so that the soy sauce is spread throughout. Add chicken bouillon to flavor. Add the peas and eggs. When the rice is hot, add the green onions, cilantro, and dill.
