Char Siu Fried Rice

Char Siu Fried Rice is fried rice with BBQ-pork added in but that's really just a starting point. It's where you go from there that is important.

• 1 Tbsp. hot water

• 1 Tbsp. sesame oil

• 1 Tbsp. Shaoxing wine

• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce

• 1 tsp. dark soy sauce

• 1/4 tsp. white pepper

• 4 cups cooked Jasmine rice

• 1 Tbsp. oil

• 1 medium onion, diced

• 1 Tbsp. garlic

• 1/2 Tbsp. peas

• 1/2 Tbsp. carrots

• 1 pound Chinese BBQ pork (cha siu)

• 1 tsp. salt

• 2 eggs, scrambled

Start by combining the hot water, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper in a small bowl. This is the sauce that you'll be adding to the rice, and it's much easier to have it combined and ready to go before you start cooking.

With the wok over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and cook the onions until translucent then add garlic. Then stir in the roast pork. Add the tablespoon of carrots and peas. Add the rice and mix well.

Add the sauce mixture and salt and mix with a scooping motion until the rice is evenly coated with sauce.

Toss in your eggs and scallions.

Serve immediately.
