Hey everyone, it’s me, Dave, welcome to my recipe site. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, japanese fried rice. It is one of my favorites. This time, I will make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.

Japanese Fried Rice is one of the most favored of current trending meals in the world. It’s simple, it is quick, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions every day. Japanese Fried Rice is something which I’ve loved my whole life. They’re nice and they look fantastic.

High heat is the key to crispy, not mushy, fried rice and perfectly cooked toppings. If you've made a stir fry, you know that tossing ingredients will prevent them from becoming too charred. A wok and wok spatula will make things easier, but you can also use a large skillet or frying pan. In some regions of Japan (including Tokyo) fried rice is more commonly referred to as Chahan (チャーハン), which is the Japanese transliteration of the Chinese Cha Fahn (炒饭).

To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can cook japanese fried rice using 11 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Japanese Fried Rice:

1. Get 2-3 Cups Calrose Rice (Cooked)
2. Make ready 3 Eggs (Scrambled)
3. Take 2 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
4. Prepare 1 Onion (Twice Quartered)
5. Get 4 Whole Mushrooms (Sliced)
6. Get 2 Zucchini (@1 - 2" Slices)
7. Get 1-2 Tbsp Soy Garlic Butter or Plain Butter (See my recipe)
8. Get 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
9. Prepare Dash Chicken Bouillon Powder (Optional)
10. Make ready Salt & Black Pepper (To Taste)
11. Prepare Grapeseed, Veg, or Peanut Oil For Frying

In a separate bowl combine butter and minced garlic. Pour rice into a large bowl to let it cool in the refrigerator. Scramble the eggs in a small pan over medium heat. As good as take away fried rice.

Instructions to make Japanese Fried Rice:

1. Heat a Large Skillet or Wok over Medium to Medium High Heat. Add a couple Tbsp of Oil. Add Eggs. Lightly Salt. Allow to firm and cook up some, without disturbing, like an omelet. Then flip around to fully cook evenly. Remove from pan, & place into a bowl and set aside.
2. Add some more Oil to the pan. Depending on the size of your Skillet, you may have to cook in batches. Add Onions & Zucchini. Make sure all the veg is lightly & evenly coated in the oil, & make sure the zucchini is laying on its flesh sides, not skin sides. Salt and Pepper lightly. Allow to brown and get some color. Turn Zucchini to its other flesh side & stir onions. Allow to brown some more. Remove from pan, & set aside.
3. Add some more Oil to the pan. Add Mushrooms. Salt & Pepper lightly. Allow Mushrooms to brown some, while stirring occasionally. Once done to your liking, add the Garlic Butter & the Minced Garlic. Cook for a couple of Minutes, then add all the veg back in. Add the Rice, & toss constantly to coat evenly with the butter. Fry the Rice for a few minutes, then add the eggs back in. Break Eggs up into small pieces with Spatula. Move food away from one side of the Pan, & add Soy Sauce to that area.
4. Quickly Toss & Stir Rice thoroughly, to evenly incorporate the Soy Sauce. Add the Chicken Bouillon, if using. Fry for a few more minutes, while constantly tossing Rice. Taste for seasoning. Lower Heat and serve immediately.
5. You can use any vegetables you prefer, and/or you can add meat or Tofu. I make it often with Peas, Carrots, & Onions, & it's also fantastic. Fried Tofu is great in it too. The Soy Garlic Butter just really takes it to a new level, so I wouldn't skip that if at all possible. I would also suggest buying some Calrose Rice, if you don't have any at home, because it makes a huge difference in both texture & flavor. It's a stickier Rice & it's absolutely delicious.

Scramble the eggs in a small pan over medium heat. As good as take away fried rice. This recipe is as good as the Japanese fried rice Yakimeshi from Japanese restaurants or take away stores. One reason is because the rice grains are separated perfectly so each single rice grain is fried individually. (We describe this as "Para para", which means it has a loose, crumbly texture) Japanese fried rice is often served with grilled chicken at restaurants. My favorite variant is to use leftover roasted chicken with the fried rice.
