Best Ever Fried Rice Recipe

chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians; chicken thighs are more budget-friendly.

Start by making the secret sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine 1/4 cup Kikkoman soy sauce, 1/2 cup Kikkoman teriyaki sauce, 1/2 yellow onion (chopped), 1.5 teaspoons lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil.

In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup warm water with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon until dissolved.

Add the dissolved mixture to the blender with the other sauce ingredients and blend until slightly chunky.

In a 10-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and add 1/2 cup chopped celery. Cook until it begins to brown and get tender.

Transfer the celery to the blender and blend again until combined with the sauce.

In the same skillet, scramble the eggs and set them aside when cooked.

Preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then bring it out and place on high heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the hot skillet, letting it melt and coat the bottom.

Add chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they change color and release flavor.

Add chilled cooked rice to the skillet and stir to incorporate with the butter and mushrooms, cooking for 3-5 minutes until slightly browned.

Gradually add the secret sauce to the rice, mixing it in without making it soupy, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Add the scrambled eggs to the rice and mix well.

Finish by adding chopped green onions on top and mixing them in.
