 Fried Rice- Koto’s Mock Recipe

Ingredients:
1 Cups Rice
2 Cup Water
1 TBSP Olive Oil
3 TBSP cold Butter
2 Eggs
¼ C Soy Sauce
Salt
Pepper

Instructions:
Mix rice and water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on LOW for 15 min. DO NOT UNCOVER UNTIL 15 MIN IS UP! In the meantime, heat Large skillet on medium high, until oil is hot. Once rice is done, uncover and fork until fluffy. Add rice and 2 TBSP of butter. Mix until butter is well is melted and well incorporated. Move rice to one side of pan. Add the remaining 1 TBSP of butter to other side of pan, when melted crack both eggs on top of butter. Allow to fry until edges turn white. Then pop the yoke and scramble the eggs, until they are done. Mix the rice with the eggs and allow to brown slightly. Then add the soy sauce and mix. Allow to fry for 1 min. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Autumn’s Tips:
When the rice is covered, DO NOT uncover (for any reason!!!) this will ruin the rice. If it starts to boil over reduce heat and move pot slightly off of burner for a min.
Allow rice to brown a little and have a crispiness.
Make sure your pan is large enough to separate rice while you cook the eggs in the same pan.
Make sure that you stir the rice often

Perfect with Koren beef and Stir Fry!
