What’s In Your Fried Rice?

I know, a lot cannot relate to this post, because they don’t eat rice for their meals since it’s not their staple food.
But for those from Asian countries, I know they make fried rice.
Usually, I make fried rice, on the evening of Saturdays from leftover rice for lunch.
I just fry lots of chopped crushed garlic together with the left-over rice. Sometimes, I would just break 3 or 4 eggs into the fried rice when it is nearly cooked and would sauté them all well together.
Or I would fry the eggs first then chop them into small pieces and scatter them into the rice I am frying.
Sometimes, I put slices of Chinese sausage. It makes the fried rice so tasty and very nice smelling.
But I always put lots of sautéed chopped and lots of crushed garlic. I love eating the garlic.
Sometimes also, I would put slices of the left-over pork adobo or the left-over of roasted chicken we bought.
Everybody would eat the fried rice and it’s a blockbuster.
So, for those who eat rice, what’s in your fried rice?

i love chinese sausage, too. my sister have done fried rice with left-over adobo. with leftover roasted chicken, if you're referring to lechon manok, we tend to make lechon paksiw with it by cooking it with mang tomas liver sauce.

Indeed, the Chinese sausage makes the fried rice so tasty. Yes, I am referring to lechon manok. I didn't have a notion that it can also be made into lechon paksiw. You gave me an idea for next time there are a lot of left-overs of what I can do to make the lechon manok a different dish.
Thank you for sharing this idea.

@hereandthere Yes, we also use Mang Tomas Sarsa. That's the secret of lechon paksiw.
I will try this.

@SIMPLYD i'm not even sure if we're doing it correctly, so we just buy mang tomas (since it's already seasoned/timplado) and add garlic, peppercorn, bay leaf and vinegar. i hope you make something better and more authentic.

Lots of garlic sounds good. I like rice in my fried rice. I also like mushrooms and chicken.

@SIMPLYD Yes we do eat rice. We love it. We probably don't eat it anywhere near as often as you would there but we do enjoy it when we have it.

I generally prefer vegetables of all varieties. I like beans and carrots more. I make small pieces and prepare fried rice.

Oh I can relate very much to this, and here is my recipe for fried rice, depending on the availability of the ingredients: I would want to make my own fried rice and I usually add with garlic and onions, then if there is available instant noodles I would crushed and add them including the seasoning, then if the oyster is available I will also put it. I can also use Vigan longasina or bacon for my fried rice.

@ilocosboy I agree with the vigan longanisa, but with the noodles, I don't think I will like it though.

And vigan longganisa would really be a hit! It is so delicious by itself, how much more added to fried rice. @ilocosboy (45157)

instant noodles makes it tasty, aroma of vigan longanisa in fried rice is irresistible.

When you break raw eggs into your rice being fried, you mix them well into it and they would really add tastiness to your fried rice. Or you can fry the eggs first, slice them and mix them into your fried rice. I bet you that you will find it delicious.

My fried rice usually looks like the first pic. Mixed veggies and eggs; colored brown with soy sauce. Sometimes I add meat pieces. Sometimes I don't.

my latest favorite food in Chowking is the chao fan. i fry our rice from dinner with just 2 cloves of garlic and cooking oil. that is enough especially if i fry some dried fish and slice some tomatoes, and put some vinegar to dip the fish.

@ridingbet Yes, that is true. If the oil is one used to fry meats it makes the fried rice tasty indeed. I always fry rice with garlic.

This is literally making me hungry right now. 
Well, since you asked: egg, bacon or ham, beans, are the basic ones I want in there. Some people put corn kernels and carrots which I don't mind. But, it's never the same without a splash of soy sauce and oyster sauce. And yes, of course, garlic.

@SIMPLYD Yeah, oyster sauce, just a splash, don't overdo it cause it has a very strong conflicting taste between salty and sweet and too much of that will make you feel sick. I don't know, I just think that too much of it leaves a certain metallic taste in the mouth as well. Great combo with a dash of soy sauce as well so you might consider putting less salt.

@Theresaaiza Yes, just a dash of that only and ittle salt. Taste and season it with those according to our taste only.

Really you put some soy sauce and oyster sauce! Maybe I should try them on my fried rice. It's usually just salt.

@SIMPLYD Ah, alas no - I usually eat my fried rice with a big side of meat. Sometimes (not often) I will fry up some beef bacon and add to it, too. --- Oh yes, summer squash (similar to zucchini) is quite good in there I've found. Butter and garlic too! :-)
