Acknowledging it as the Char Siew Fried Rice, it's the Fried Rice dish i grew up with and thus have a special bond in both its sweet taste & whiff of it. Mmmm...
Over last weekend, we bought the main ingredient of Char Siew from Yan Chuan Roaster remembering to request for the sweet Char Siew sauce.1 pointer to note: Do NOT use up all the Char Siew sauce for the cooking, it maybe too sweet for the dish.
As a guide, we have below 3 cups of uncooked Rice, 500grams of Char Siew, 3/4 of the supplied Char Siew sauce.
Simple easy steps (do control the fire):
1. Heat oil. Stir frying the finely chopped Ginger, Garlic.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients, diced Prawns first, followed by Fish Cake, Char Siew, Mixed Beans & Carrots.
3. Season the lot with Pepper. Then add in the Cooked Rice, mixing it up well (low fire).
4. Add a Tbsp of Dark Soya sauce and the pack of Char Siew sauce on the Fried Rice while blending everything together (low fire).
5. When the Fried Rice had been well mixed to achieve its uniform color, add a generous dose of chopped Spring Onions and turn up the fire for a good 5 mins stir (for the flavor to soak into the rice grains).
I believe all kids would love this sweet savory dish. Used to polish off 3 bowls of it in a meal but sadly i could only accomplish 1 bowl tonight :(
Pack a big bag for next day's Lunch :)
Homely dishes always tasted best when Mom cooks for us. I dread the day we have to cook this for ourselves, cos it's never the same...
