Guam Fried Rice
This is perhaps
the best fried rice I've ever had. I learned to make it from a friends mom while living on Guam. Traditionally the people of Guam serve
Finadene with it. I like to make this with
my Sweet and Sour
Pork and put the sauce over the rice.
Preparation Time: 1 Hour Serving Size: 6
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups long-grain white rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 pound pork, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Kikkoman Soy Sauce
- 7 slices bacon, chopped
|
- 1/2 cup green onions, including tops, chopped
- 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 5 ounces frozen green peas
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled, de-veined and cut into bite-sized pieces

Combine vegetable oil, salt, rice and water, in that order, in a
small sauce pan. Cover the pot and turn heat to medium high and cook,
undisturbed, 4
minutes. Turn heat down to medium low and continue cooking, undisturbed, for 11 more
minutes. Turn heat off; quickly fluff the rice with a fork, replace the
lid and allow to sit 15 minutes. Quickly fluff the rice again, replace
the lid and allow to sit undistributed until cool, about 30 to 45
minutes. Place bite-size pork in a small bowl and cover with
Kikkoman Soy Sauce; set aside while preparing the rest of the ingredients. Fry
chopped bacon over medium heat in a large deep-sided pan until
crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. If necessary, remove all but two
tablespoons of the drippings. Turn heat up to
medium-high and add marinated pork to the pan and stir-fry 3
minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to retain the drippings; set pork aside. Add green pepper and green onions to the pan and stir-fry over
medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 1 minute.
Push the vegetables in a ring to the outside edges of the pan to allow
the drippings to collect in the center. Slowly pour beaten eggs into the the center of the pan, stirring
constantly,
trying not to incorporate the vegetables. After eggs have set, bring vegetables into the
center and mix with the eggs. Pour about 2 tablespoons soy sauce into pan to
color the vegetable/egg mixture a very light shade of brown. Add back the
bacon and pork and stir. Using a wooden fork, immediately incorporate cooled rice into the mixture. Stir the mixture
constantly over medium heat until completely combined. Pour more soy sauce over the entire
mixture until the rice changes to a light brown color. There is no exact measurement; it
should take a least a few more tablespoons, but be careful not to over soy
sauce the rice. Stir in the frozen
green peas and raw shrimp. Reduce heat to low and cover the pan. Allow the
residual heat to cook the shrimp and heat the peas. Stir only
occasionally to prevent sticking. The rice is usually ready for serving
after 15 minutes. |

Finadene |
- 1/2 cup Kikkoman soy sauce
- 1/2 white vinegar
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped including tops
|
- 1 small hot pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
|
| Simply mix all ingredients (except lemon juice) in a small bowl and set out on the table.
There should be enough green onions to completely fill the liquid. Add the lemon juice
just prior to serving the rice. This sauce gets better with time, so prepare it far ahead
of time. |
