Yang Chow Fried Rice
Topic: Rice
We always love fried rice, that's why sometimes I intended to cooked more rice so that I have something to fry for the next meal, even my 2 years old son Azhfaar became a fried rice lover also. Yang Chow Fried Rice is one Chinese Fried rice variations, basically aside from the rice, ingredients like shrimps, egg, meat, various vegetables are usually added singly or a combination of those list. The one I cooked the other day was a combination of shrimps, chicken (from the chicken barbeque leftovers), ground beef, hotdog and green peas. What I like most in this dish is it was almost like a complete meal because I used more amounts of ingredients to the 4 cups of rice only.

Ingredients:
4 cups cold cooked rice (basmati rice if possible)
2/3 cup shrimps, cut into small slices, about 1 cm
2/3 cup chicken barbeque, sliced into small cubes
1/2 cup ground beef
1 hotdog, sliced into small cubes
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. light soy sauce
2 tbsp. dark soy sauce
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup frozen green peas,thawed
1/3 tsp. black pepper powder
3 tbsp. cooking oil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and some of the chopped green onions.
2. Heat half of the oil in a wok, stir fry the garlic, then hotdog cubes, ground beef, shrimps and green peas for 1 minute, stir in the chicken cubes, add dark and light soy sauce and stir for another 1 minute. Sprinkle black pepper powder to the mixture. Remove fro wok and set aside.
3. Heat the remaining oil and lightly scramble the beaten eggs. Add the cooked rice and stir to make sure that each grain of rice is separated, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Stir in remaining green onions with the cooked shrimp and meat mixture. Blend well, remove from heat and serve.
