Benjamin's Egg Fried Rice
Guest cook Benjamin is in town. I've been hearing about his Egg Fried Rice from a few who have had it and asked him to fire me up a batch. It does not disappoint!
Ingredients:
10 eggs
2 shallots, diced
8 cloves garlic, minced
8 green onions, chopped. Separate the white and green parts.
2 cups chopped carrots
1 large onion, diced
8 slices of sandwich ham, diced
3 cups cooked rice (make it the day before and let it dry out)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2--3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1-2 tablespoons fish sauce (or substitute with soy sauce)
white pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to taste
DIrections:
1. In a large pan, scramble eggs in butter over medium heat until soft scrambled. Remove and set aside.
2. Over high heat, add olive oil, garlic, shallots, and white parts of green onions. Sautee about 1-2 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant.
3. Add diced ham and mix together. Sautee an additional few minutes. Add rice and mix together. Cook 3-5 minutes (longer for crispier rice).
4. Add Sriracha sauce (more for spicer...that's the way Benjamin likes it). Mix well, scraping up from the bottom. Add scrambled eggs back in and mix well.
5. Add fish sauce (or soy sauce), crushed red pepper flakes, and white pepper to taste. Mix well.
6. Lastly, just before taking off heat, mix in carrots and onion.
7. Serve with the green tops of the green onion as garnish.

Great to see you again Benjamin! Your egg friend rice looks amazing! Thank you Stephen and Benjamin for your service! ❤️❤️
Phyllis grandson 👏👏👏
Benjamin you have EVERY trait of your Dad in you!!! Great Video - LOVED IT!!
For people who "don't like" fish sauce, if you've eaten at any good Asian restaurant, you've had fish sauce in the meal whether you know it or not because it is an ESSENTIAL ingredient. The implication is that you may think you don't like something you have gotten over and over again w/o knowing it.

So great to see Benjamin! Thank you for your service, sir! Wow....he looks just like his dad! Not only does he look like him, but they share a wonderful personality. I can't help but think how proud Ms. Phyllis would be to see her family carrying on with cooking and sharing great recipes with everyone. She would be so proud. This is a must make soon! Hope ya'll enjoy your time together. God bless.
Nice seeing Benjamin on here. I can smell that rice all the way to Texas !!!!!👩🦳
Stephen, you and your wife have a beautiful daughter and handsome sons. God has blessed you with a wonderful family and they are blessed to have you as a husband and dad. Thank you and your son for this video. I enjoyed it. May God continue to bless you and your precious family. I hope you had a raspberry filled krispy Kreme doughnut. Yum.

That is very kind of you, Bonnie. God has indeed blessed Arlene and I with wonderful children!
"Some dirt underneath your nose" 😂 I love fried rice ...this looks delicious...good job Benjamin!
Thank you gentlemen!
as you stated, cooked and refrigerated rice works even better - the starch changes and gets firmer overnight - adding the garlic first is unusual since it burns so easliy - looks good - son looks like Phyllis
Thanks for sharing this, Steve and Benjamin! Looks like your Mom's cooking genes have gone down even to the grands. That looks good, but I could not do the hot sauce. I do understand that I would not have to use that. Fish sauce has always sounded, ah -- not so good -- to me. You confirmed that. But there are options which makes this dish a wonderful one to try.
Hello Benjamin, looking like dad 😂🤣 ur grandmother Miss Phyllis is soooo proud 🥲
Thank you Benjamin for the Fried Rice demo. I could just imagine how it smelled as you were cooking. I love fried rice. Hope you can cook for us again soon.

Hi Benjamin, great to see you.Been watching alot of your Grandma's videos. Miss her so much.😢So grateful for you your Dad and family for filling in her spot and keeping her alive for us all.We so enjoy you all.Have a wonderful day and Thank you for the recipe.😊
Good video and recipe for fried rice. I also rather scramble the egg separately instead of adding it raw in the rice. Thank you Benjamin and Colonel. Blessings.

Benjamin. Looks like his daddy, the Colonel with that hair under his nose.LOL😊
Hello Gentlemen! Thanks Benjamin for that Fried Rice Demonstration. Looks tasty. I love making me some fried rice. I like to vary the protein. I sometime use Chinese Lap Xuong Sausage, Ham, Spam, Shrimp. All the Best to You and Your Familia. Take Care and God Bless.
Lieutenant Ritter, you did a super great job 👏 I'm SO hungry right now!! This is one of my absolute Favorite things to eat. I could make a big batch, and literally eat it up to 7 times a week😅. (It's great with shrimp also) You are so much like your daddy the Colonel, who is just like your precious grandmother Phyllis ❤❤❤ May our good Lord Bless you all; and always keep you safe and healthy🙏🏻
Thank you for your service and Welcome home Lieutenant Benjamin! 🙌 I love fried rice with shrimp. Your recipe looks so good, thanks for sharing!
Your son is a natural in front of the camera.
This is the best fried rice tutorial ever! I picked up on so many tips - especially using cast iron skillet (never owned wok) I wouldn’t use to scramble the eggs in though - cast iron eats the eggs up … that’s why you needed 10 eggs 😮 You can never have too many onions in my opinion…sautéed and then some crunchy! Kudos to the guys cooking!! I know your mom must be beaming with proudness from heaven… I miss her … Ty for all your content! 🤗🐢
You both favor you're beautiful momma and grandma
He sure does look like his daddy. Stephen you should make sticky rice 😁
What an enjoyable vlog. And delicious results. Who doesn’t like …egg, fried rice. Yum. The lieutenant is “the” man….he made me smile at the end with that salute. Barbara.

Looks delicious Lt. Ritter! I love sriracha sauce and I think it’s a great addition to the fried rice. I can’t wait to try it your way. I always say I’m making fried rice with leftover rice but in my house it’s hard to have leftover rice no matter how much I cook. I’ll cook and refrigerate some overnight just for this recipe. Maybe add a drizzle of sesame oil at the end. It’s also a good way to use up leftover veggies.

Way to go girlfriend . As always ks.
olive oil in fried rice, i don't think so. garlic in the pan before any of the onions, you like the taste of burnt garlic? Thats when i turned off the video. can you hear uncle roger screaming at you?
Darn, I was in until the fish sauce……

best thing umami just use it to replace salt, and if you use it correctly you actually don't taste the fermented anchovies, it just amps up the savory flavor try using it in salad dressing instead of salt

Swap it out for soy sauce or something you like. Use the recipe as a starting point and swap out ingredients you don’t like.

Good to see Benjamin again! I only use Ben’s converted rice, so that’s what I use for fried rice. I never scramble eggs in cast iron either. I just make it simple, onion, diced bacon, eggs. No carrots, takes too long to cook. 😅 Just a little low sodium soy, no fish sauce. And I never make as much as this! 😊 It looks delicious and oh I know it smells great. Take care and enjoy! 😊
USE SOY SAUCE ((STATES SUBSTITUTE SOY)))) DON'T HAVE TO USE WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE. DUH
Excellent job there Lt. 🫡 Sesame oil works really well too😊
That was great lol! Looks good too. Except he didn't burn his tongue!! If Bella wants to know what she looks like with a mustache, she can just look at her brother! ❤❤
