Ingredients
- 1 kg Unsalted white rice (best if cooked one day in advance)
- 2 unit Chicken breasts (You can also use any other type of protein, shrimp, bacon, beef, egg).
- 1/2 kg Ham
- 6 unit Chive Bunches
- 250 gr Chinese sprouts or dragon's tooth.
- 1 tbsp Salt to taste
- 1/2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 unit Chinese dark soy sauce
- 1 unit Chinese light soy sauce
Instructions
Sautéing of the ingredients:
- Preparation of ingredients: Make sure you have all the ingredients chopped and ready before you begin. This includes the protein (chicken, beef or shrimp), ham and chives, as well as any additional ingredients you wish to add.
- Heating the wok or frying pan: Heat the wok or frying pan over high heat and add a little vegetable oil. Make sure the wok is very hot before you start stir-frying the ingredients.
- Sautéing the protein: Start by sautéing the protein, such as chicken, beef or shrimp. Cook until golden brown and almost fully cooked. Remove the protein from the wok and set aside.
- Sautéing the ham and scallions: Add the ham and sauté for a few minutes until lightly browned. Then add the scallions and continue sautéing until tender but still crisp. The ham and scallions should blend and complement each other.
- Return the protein to the wok: Add the previously cooked protein back to the wok along with the ham and scallions. Mix well so that all the flavors combine.
The magic of the final combination:
- Adding the cooked rice: Add the cooked rice to the wok with the sautéed ingredients. Make sure the rice is cool or at least at room temperature. This will help prevent it from becoming sticky during cooking.
- Even mixing: Mix the rice gently but steadily, making sure that all ingredients are evenly distributed. This will ensure that each bite has a balance of flavors.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the Venezuelan Chinese rice and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more dark or light soy sauce, salt, pepper or other seasonings of your choice. Remember to do this gradually, tasting the flavor after each addition.
- Balance of flavors: Pay attention to the balance of flavors in Venezuelan Chinese rice. Make sure that the main ingredients, such as protein and ham, are not overshadowed by the seasonings. The flavors should complement and enhance each other.
