COOKING FROZEN RICE RECIPES

Steps:

• Put 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or a large skillet, and turn heat to high. When it begins to shimmer, add onion, pepper and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove vegetables to a bowl.
• Drain peas if necessary, and add them to skillet; cook, shaking pan, for about a minute, or until hot. Remove them to the bowl.
• Put remaining oil in the skillet, followed by garlic and ginger. When the mixture is fragrant, about 15 seconds later, add the rice, breaking up clumps with a spoon as you go along and tossing it with oil. When the rice is well coated, make a well in the center and break the eggs into it. Scramble these, then stir into the rice.
• Return vegetables to the skillet and stir to integrate. Add wine or water and cook, stirring, for approximately 1 minute. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, then taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. Turn off heat, stir in the cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add rice, water, bay leaf and salt and bring to the boil. Cover closely and cook exactly 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, if fresh peas are used, drop them into boiling salted water and cook one minute or less until tender. Do not overcook. Drain.
• Heat the remaining one tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the fresh or frozen peas. Cook, briefly, stirring gently. Stir the peas into the rice and serve.
