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.

    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.

    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.

    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! 🤗🐢

    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.

    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! 😊
