I got the idea to try fried rice for breakfast after years of having my leftover Chinese takeout for breakfast. We of course still had this for dinner as we have breakfast for dinner at least a few times a month.
If you don't have a wok, just use a large skillet and don't worry that the soy sauce discolors the eggs, they still taste amazing!
Ingredients:
2 TBLS. olive oil
4 eggs
3 TBLS. soy sauce
1/2 lb. Kielbasa
2 cups cooked rice
2 TBLS. rice vinegar
Mix together 1 TBLS. of the soy sauce and the eggs. Beat well.
Heat 1 TBLS. of olive oil in a large wok. Add the eggs and cook them scrambled style until they are not they are just about set up (but not quite as you are going to add them back in later and don't want them overdone). Remove the eggs and set them aside.
Add last TBLS. of olive oil to the wok. Add cooked rice and cook 5 minutes or until rice is lightly browned. Add the egg back to the wok. Then add the Kielbasa, remaining 2 TBLS. of soy sauce and rice vinegar.
Cook an additional 2 - 3 minutes.
Taste and add more soy sauce if you think it needs an extra punch.
Serve with buttered toast. Delish!
I have not cooked using a wok before this recipe. At least not that I can remember. I had my brand new wok collecting dust in the corner, meaning to try it but not quite getting around to it (for like two years!). I can't imagine why not because not only are the creations sooo good but it's also a lot of fun! I loved using mine and hope to share many more wok recipes with you in the future. NOTE: in my excitement, I saved the wrong photos from my sd card and am only left with this horrible one. Don't let it stop you from trying this recipe though, it is amazing.
Marinade:
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. sugar
1 TBLS. cornstarch
1 TBLS. low sodium soy sauce
1 TBLS. water
2 TBLS. olive oil
1.5 lbs. steak of your choice, sliced into thin strips
Whisk together baking soda, sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, water and olive oil in a large bowl. Toss the steak in the marinade to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Then gather these ingredients:
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 TBLS. brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 TBLS. flour
3 TBLS. olive oil
2 heads of broccoli, crowns only
In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and flour until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 2 TBLS. of the oil in a large wok over high heat until simmering. Add broccoli and saute 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer broccoli to a plate.
Carefully add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the marinated steak and half of the sauce mixture. Saute for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring often, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink. Stir in the broccoli and the remaining sauce. Saute 1 minute more. Serve over rice.
*make sure and use LOW sodium soy sauce or this will be much too salty.
