    *INGREDIENTS FOR THE CHICKEN FRIED RICE [serve 1-2]*
    *For the chicken marinade*
    - 150 grams of chicken
    - 1 tsp of corn starch
    - 1 tsp of soy sauce
    - 1 tsp of vegetable oil
    - a pinch of baking soda(NOT BAKING POWDER Sorry for the audio mistake in the video)
    *FOR THE STIR FRYING*
    - 2 eggs
    - 3 tbsp oil
    - 2 cups of cooked rice
    - 1 tbsp of minced garlic
    - 1/4 cup of red onion
    - 1/3 cup of green beans
    - 1/2 cup of carrot
    - 1/4 cup of spring onion
    *FOR THE SEASONING*
    - 1 tbsp of light soy sauce [Pearl River Bridge Natural Brewed Light Soy Sauce: geni.us/wABlLXf]
    - 2 tsp of dark soy sauce [Pearl River Bridge Superior Dark Soy Sauce: geni.us/T4vy]
    - 1/4 tsp of salt or to taste
    - pepper to taste
    *HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN FRIED RICE*
    - Cut the chicken into small pieces. Mix it with 1 tsp of corn starch, 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of vegetable oil and a pinch of baking soda. Set it aside for 30 minutes.
    - Crack 2 eggs. Beat it well.
    - Heat up the wok. Add about 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Give it a toss, so the bottom is coated nicely.
    - Wait until there is smoke coming out. Pour in the egg. Will take about 30-50 seconds to get the it fluffy. Break it into small pieces and set it aside.
    - Add more oil into the same wok. Heat it up and add in the chicken. Saute it about 1 or 2 minutes. Then push it to the side so you have room for the vegetables. Dump in all your veggies, which are 1 tbsp of minced garlic, 1/4 cup of onion, 1/3 cup of green beans and 1/2 cup of carrot. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
    - When the onion should be transparent, Add some salt to taste. Mix it well.
    - Take it out.
    - Next is the rice. Loosen up the rice before frying.
    - Turn on the gas to high, Heat up the wok for about 15 seconds. Then add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Put in the rice right after that. Use your spatula to break down the big pieces.
    - You need to stir fry this for 3-5 minutes. Then add in our seasoning, 1 tbsp of light soy sauce, 2 tsp of dark soy sauce.
    - Now you really got to mix this. Do it fast. Because the wok is hot, the liquid will evaporate quickly- then you will never get to mix it evenly. Once can not see white rice, add in all the ingredients. Veggies, meat, oh and the egg...
    - Toss everything together. Give them about 2 minutes to be infused with each other.
    - Add in the spring onion right before serving.
    Hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, just post a comment.

    • @josephinhiding3595
      @josephinhiding3595 6 ปีที่แล้ว +45

      Baking power is simply baking soda with a chemical added, physically not chemically, that breaks down into an acid when heated. The acid breaks down the baking soda producing CO2 when heating/baking/cooking. Baking powder or baking soda should both accomplish the same purpose, for what you are doing.

    • @Jolene8
      @Jolene8 6 ปีที่แล้ว +80

      Joseph Inhiding Baking powder and Bakng Soda do not produce the same result when cooking or baking. That's why recipes call for one, the other or both.

    • @josephinhiding3595
      @josephinhiding3595 6 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      +Jolene - I'm sorry I wasn't clear when I qualified with "for what you are doing". For the purpose of tenderizing the meat the active / important ingredient in both is the Baking Soda. The minor ingredients in the baking power will not have a significant impact on the tenderizing.
      Certainly if you're baking something using baking soda (alone) will not work to leaven the dough.

Before frying the rice, I fried a whole bulb of minced/ diced garlic just so the oil is infused with garlic, then putting the rice in to fry. I also marinated my chicken in corn starch, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt & pepper and paprika! Didn’t have any light soy sauce and baking soda.. turnt out awesome!! Also, I didn’t have overnight rice, cooked up a fresh batch and put the fresh rice in the freezer for 20 mins! Helpful trick hehe

      Just to note that most of her stuff she makes is Cantonese style. Not Sichuan. Sichuan is those very very spicy ones that use a lot of red chilies. 🌶 She doesn’t make many Sichuan dishes just a few. Not many can eat real Sichuan dishes in China actually unless you’re from there. Many believe it’s actually bad for your intestines way too many chilies so not many eat it. There’s another channel on TH-cam that makes strictly Sichuan food, it’s Liziqi. She lives in Sichuan region and uses tons of red chilies in her cooking. Don’t also base NY or American Chinese restaurant food as authentic Chinese food. They’re far from authentic Chinese food in China.

If you use cooked leftover chicky, no baking soda. Baking soda tenderizes raw meat, not cooked. I'm the king of slow these days, don't worry about fast, LOL

    Helpful tip here: if you can't use day old rice, cook up a fresh batch then set it in freezer for 15-20mins. This gets rid of some moisture in rice, so rice doesn't stick together and become a glob when reuse in fried rice recipe

    • @ksha735
      @ksha735 6 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Cheryl Tham My lil boy and I fancy fried rice out of the blue sometimes and realise we don’t have old rice that’s even a couple hours old. So, I do the same thing you do - Cook the rice and let it rest in freezer top drawer for 20-30mins. Only difference is I don’t turn off the rice cooker straight away when it’s done. I let it sit there for 5mins, then open the lid and leave it like that for 5 more mins. Then, I take the rice out, place it in ziplock/freezer bag, add a bit of soy sauce to it, close the bag (full of air- space for the rice to move about) and toss the bag around gently for a min. Afterwards, I add a bit more soy sauce and toss it around again. I choose that method instead of using a spatula to separate the rice, to avoid the risk of mushing the soft rice. And, the cold soy sauce(that I keep in fridge for longitivtiy) helps the rice separate nicely in the bag, plus it’s already flavoured as a bonus. 😂 Also, I left the bag open in the freezer to let the heat and moisture out.
