Real Fried Rice & A Taiwan Adventure | Farm to Table Family | PBS Parents
A few months ago, my mother and I took my boys to Taiwan for an epic summer vacation. My family is from Taipei, and I wanted to make sure the kids had a chance to make a connection with their ancestral roots. Turns out, it was pretty easy to do, starting with – no surprise here – the food. Taiwan is known for its cuisine, and we ended each day with the full bellies to prove it. We had one particularly amazing meal at 三分俗氣, a restaurant run by Mama Tsao and her husband. Her vegetable rice packs a punch of flavor: it’s savory and completely addictive. She told me her secret is infusing the oil with aromatics like chinese ham and bacon. Fried rice is one of those guilty pleasures a lot of us associate with our neighborhood Chinese delivery place, but try this recipe and I think you might find yourself tossing that takeout menu. It’s easy, filled with layers of flavor, and probably quite a bit healthier than anything in those little white cartons. Give it a shot and customize with any meats or veggies you wish! REAL FRIED RICE ⅓ c. cooked edamame ⅓ c. cooked green beans, sliced 1 bunch scallions, finely sliced (green and white scallions separated) 1 large garlic finely minced ½ tsp sea salt ½ tsp white pepper 2 c. cooked rice, cold 3 large eggs, beaten RECIPE 1.

Add the salt and pepper. Mix. 6. Fold in the veggies and dark green scallions. 7. Pour the eggs over the rice and continue to mix until the egg and mixture is dry. 8.

I prefer this recipe to the standard one where they destroy eggs by over-frying them.
But... someone explain to me why it is called fried? -
so glad you are back! will you be posting weekly? :D :D

Beautifully shot video!
One thing I do when I'm frying rice is that I separate the eggs, and coat the rice evenly with the egg yolks before putting it into the pot. You'll get a lovely golden color, and the rice combines much better with the egg this way.
Oftentimes adding the egg whites gives the dish a bit too much moisture, and the fried rice will clump instead of being soft and fluffy, so I normally just use them for some other dish. -
Moooooooooreeee!!!!!

So that's what the egg is for!

Just recently discovered your videos and we love everything about them. I plan to use them to continue to teach my 10 year old son how to cook. And it's awesome that we get to dance along to great music while we're in the kitchen together. Happy to see there is a season 2...more good food, good music and your beautiful family to look forward to!
