Hi everyone, I am Masa
today I would like to share with you a delicious fried rice recipe
Have you ever heard of a Japanese series called Shin'ya Shokudō?
Each episode would showcase dishes with a backstory
The dishes may be simple. Nevertheless they are complement the story well
The recipe I am sharing today is not complicated
It's a dish that uses simple ingredients and seasoning to achieve great flavor
Ok, let's get started!
Ingredients are: green beans - 3 long pieces
You can substitute them for other types of beans.
Sliced bamboo shoots will do as well
Blanch the green beans for 1 minute and
cool in ice water
dice into small pieces
1/8 of an onion
dice into small pieces
carrot 20 grams
dice into small pieces
chicken thigh - 1 large piece.
Freezing the chicken before chopping them is much easier
substituting the chicken for bacon or German style sausage can also be tasty
turn the stove on to medium
Add a bit of oil
Add the diced chicken thigh
Add salt and pepper to taste
sauté until the chicken thigh changes color
Add the diced onion and carrot
Add around 2 tablespoons of ketchup
Add Tabasco sauce to taste
Sauteing the ketchup for a short while can help dissipate the sourness and make it less piquant
Add 200 grams of white rice
Substituting the white rice for spaghetti will turn the dish into Naporitan spaghetti - another popular Japanese style pasta inspired from western cuisine
Season with salt and pepper to taste
Add the diced green beans
Now the delicious chicken fried rice is done.
This dish can also be prepared into Omurice
The dish tastes great by wrapping it with an omelette
For detailed instruction on how to make Omurice, please watch my previous video (link in description)
Please give this dish a try. Thanks for watching!
