American Fried Rice

This American Fried Rice style is very popular in KL.  When I was there I did tried out quite a number of times before from different stalls, but again not all are of same taste and flavors.  Since I came across this recipe online, I gave it a try and this is really yummy.  

Ingredients: (serves 1)

1 cup cooked rice

1 hot dog (halved and slit into 4 but not totally cut through) - if you have the mini frankfurter then use 2

1 garlic cloves (peeled and finely chopped)

1/2 small onion (peeled and finely chopped)

1 slice ham (roughly chopped)

2 tbsp. french beans (fine cubed) - the original recipe uses frozen peas

1/2 tbsp. raisins

2 slices tomato (to serve)

1 fried egg (to serve)

Enough cooking oil (for frying the crumbed chicken), plus 2 tbsp. extra

Seasoning sauce: (combine in a small bowl)

1 tbsp. tomato ketchup

1/2 tbsp. fish sauce

1 tsp. light soy sauce

1/4 tsp. sugar

Crumbed chicken strips/slices:

3 pieces/slices chicken breast or tenders

1 tbsp. cornflour

1 egg

1 1/2 tbsp. panko breadcrumbs

Dash of salt

Methods:

1. To make the crumbed chicken strips, season the chicken with salt.  Coat each piece in cornflour, then egg, then breadcrumbs and place them on a flat plate.  Heat enough oil over a small frying pan, cook the crumbed chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.  Drain on paper towel.  
2. In a clean pan and 1 tablespoon of oil.  Cook the hot dog until cooked through.  Drain on paper towel.
3. In a clean wok, add 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat.  Saute onion and garlic until fragrant, then add ham, french beans and raisins, stir-fry for another half minute.  Add the rice and the seasoning sauce and stir-fry until well combined.  Dish the fried rice onto a serving dish.
4. Serve with sliced tomato, fried egg and crumbed chicken and hot dogs.

I adapted this recipe from 'Marion's Kitchen' with slight adjustment to suit my cooking preference.
