For this week's homecooking assignment, I decided to make a favorite recipe of mine, fried rice. For the specific recipe, I did not use any recipes found from the internet; rather, I decided to make this fried rice on my own. The recipe is as follows:
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- One bunch of green onions
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- Tofu, ~1 lbs
- 2 cups of whole grain brown rice
- Soy sauce
- Sriracha hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 eggs
To start, I boiled the two cups of brown rice in water for around 45 minutes until minimal water remained and the rice was soft. While the rice boiled, I pan fried the tofu until there was a nice brown exterior on each piece. After the tofu was prepared, I cooked two scrambled eggs in moderately sized chunks to add with the tofu.
After the rice was prepared, I diced all of my vegetables. At low heat, I added the garlic and ginger to saute for around 1-2 minutes before I added the rest of my vegetables. I sauteed the vegetables until the onions were translucent. The carrots still retained a nice crunch which added to the texture of the dish. After the vegetables were prepared, I added the rice, tofu, egg, soy sauce, and sriracha. I folded the rice upon itself to thoroughly mix all of the ingredients. Finally, I topped off the fried rice with the green part of the green onion for a garnish.
Overall, this meal was very filling and the two cups of rice allowed me to make a lot of leftovers that I will have throughout the week. For the future, I would add more garlic and ginger to this dish because I could not necessarily taste either with all of the other ingredients.
