The recipe today comes from a food blog called XOXOBella. I have been wanting to make this recipe for a long time. You can find it here.
P. F. Changs Vegetarian Fried Rice - makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
Neutral oil - we used avocado
(Neutral oil guide here on others you can use)
1 cup Jasmine rice
1-3/4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 tablespoon Canola oil
2 eggs
1 cup carrots, cut into two to three inch strips
1 cup sugar snap peas
2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup bean sprouts
2 stalks green onion
Vegetarian Dark Sauce:
3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons mirin
(Mirin is a sweet Japanese cooking wine)
2 teaspoons hot chili oil
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Pinch of white pepper
Pour boiling water over dried mushrooms and steep 30 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, squeeze to remove excess moisture, slice and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the broccoli and snap peas. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until done. Remove the vegetables and set aside.
Heat oil in wok over medium to medium-high heat. Amount is not mentioned but we used 2 tablespoons.
Add the rice, bean sprouts, carrots and scallions. Stir until evenly mixed.
Using the back of your spatula, press down on your rice and break up any large chunks, making sure to fry the rice in the oil.
Add the shiitake mushrooms, broccoli and snap peas and stir into the rice.
Add the white pepper into the wok and stir into the rice.
Add the dark soy sauce around the rim of the wok and stir into the rice, making sure there are no white spots left.
Turn off the heat and adjust the seasonings, with salt to taste.
What did we think?
Very good and we would enjoy making it again.
We don’t have white pepper, just regular.
We had cauliflower needing to be used and added it along with the broccoli, also cutting it into florets.
We didn’t have snap peas, substituting edamame instead.
I missed the bit about slicing the mushrooms. Slicing probably would have been better to distribute more throughout the dish.
We had a commercial dark sauce already in the fridge but I would like to try making it next time using the ingredients above.
We sprinkled low sodium soy sauce on top of our dish at the table, and also a little sriracha.
Thanks for visiting and
have a great day.
