/
1 teaspoon oil
seed oil
1/2 cup frozen peas This Chinese fried rice recipe was made in my 5
Zorjirushi rice cooker. The recipe really fills my rice cooker, so if you have a smaller rice cooker, you should think about cutting back on the recipe or it may not fit in your rice cooker.
Rinse the starch
from the rice
The first step is to rinse the starch from the rice. Here’s what two cups of rice look like with a little water added, see how milky the water looks? You don’t want this. I rinsed and drained the rice four times. Be sure to shake the rice in the water with your fingers.

This Chinese fried rice recipe calls for two cups of diced meat. My favorites are crumbled bacon and diced ham. I know bacon seems like a weird choice for Chinese fried rice, but trust me, it’s delicious! Other options would be diced chicken or crumbled sausages. Mix and match meats or use your favorites. Cook your meats and cut them. I bought some spiral ham, so I diced a cup of that, and fried some diced bacon tips.
In a bowl, combine the meats (my bowl
was too small to add bacon) with the carrots, diced green onion or red onion whites, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chicken broth, vegetable oil, and sesame seed oil.
Pour the contents of the bowl over the rice (I covered this with the bacon). DON’T STIR. Close the rice cooker. The rice cookers are all different, mine has an option for “Mixed”, this is what I chose, and then pressed the start cooking button.
When the rice finishes cooking, mix some eggs in a pan. Fold these boiled eggs into the rice along with the green onion tops and frozen peas. Your rice cooker should be “hot,” close the lid, and let the rice cooker warm the frozen peas for about 10 minutes or so.
