Fried rice or Fry rice is a must in my country. A good fried rice can go down (well) with almost anything. I wanted to show you how versatile this dish can be and to also get that fear of “not knowing “how to cook seafood out of your heads. Seafood is very easy to cook it simply just needs your attention. The seafood mix is a wonderful introduction if you are new to learning. The pieces are relatively smaller so they cook at a faster time than the regular sized seafood. Infusing local chadon beni with the seafood was just so delicious. Mixing both fried rice and seafood made a perfect match. I do hope you enjoy this one and don’t forget to be creative and have fun while you’re cooking. Until next time Bye!

Method

1. Boil rice for 12-15 minutes. Note (Rice should not be soggy/overcooked. Make sure the rice has had enough time to cool. Colder rice makes for a better fried rice)

3. In a bowl add the chopped chadon beni and mix well with olive oil. Set aside.
4. Heat oil in a wok or pan and sauté garlic, ginger and onion. Add mixed seafood and shrimp. Next include salt, black pepper and chadon beni oil. Mix well and keep on medium to high heat. Note (A lot of water will spring. It is natural, allow water to evaporate. If after 5 minutes there is still an extra amount of water simply just take out some.
5. Crack 3 eggs and whisky vigorously. Separate a portion inside the pan and cook the eggs. Note (See video for technique.)
6. Add carrots, broccoli and rice. Mix well.
