Procedures

Cook the Rice (Day Before)

  1. Cook the Rice
    • Wash your rice. Pour some water in with your cup of rice and stir. Rinse and repeat until water is clear after stirring. This is to remove starch from the rice. It is very important for good rice!
    • Add the 1.5 cups of water to your rice in the rice cooker
    • Start the rice cooker
    • Stir after rice is cooked
    • Freeze a day ahead

Fried Rice

  1. Prep
    • Start letting the rice unfreeze
    • Scramble the eggs and season with salt and pepper for later
    • Dice the veggies and place in a large bowl
  2. Cook the Veggies
    • Heat up a pan to high heat
    • Season the veggies with some of the garlic powder, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and cilantro. Don't use it all — you'll be using the seasonings throughout.
    • Once the pan is heated, pour the oil in and let it simmer and shine
    • Add the veggies and spread them out over the pan
    • Stir and stir and stir again until the onions begin to brown
  3. Cook the Eggs
    • Make room in the pan for eggs and drain oil into the space
    • Pour scrambled egg into the oil and stir til cooked
    • Mix in with the veggies
  4. Cook the Beef
    • Make room in the pan for the beef and drain oil into the space
    • Mash apart beef to make a thinnish layer of it
    • Coat in the seasonings
    • Cook the meat, flipping to get both sides, until there is no pink
    • Mix in with the veggies and eggs
  5. Add the Rice
    • Make room in the pan for the rice and drain oil into the space
    • Put one scoop of rice into the pan and spread into a single layer. Yes, only one scoop. Japanese style fried rice is mostly veggies and very little rice!
    • Season the rice with the seasonings
    • Cook the rice for about a minute, then mix in with everything else
    • Stir til the rice begins to brown
  6. Fry
    • Pour a pool of soy sauce into a space in the pan and drizzle the rest over the mixture
    • Stir stir stir until it's all fried
    • It will now disgustingly smell like soy sauce. Season the mixture with the seasonings until it smells good.
    • Stir some more, let it cook for at least 3 minutes total
    • Move to a bowl and stir in sriracha
  7. Enjoy!
