How to Make Aromatic Vegetable Fried Rice Su Cai Chao Fan

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 10 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add 3 cups cooked rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss to coat the rice evenly with the oil.
  3. Heat through, then remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a clean wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon peanut oil over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon minced ginger and 2 cloves minced garlic; sauté for 15 seconds.
  5. Add 1 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped green beans, and 1/2 cup shredded carrots. Stir-fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  6. Add 1 cup bean sprouts and 1/2 cup bamboo shoots (sliced). Stir for 1 minute.
  7. Add the cooked rice, 2 chopped spring onions (green parts only), and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper. Toss to combine.
  8. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
  9. Add 1/2 cup vegetable stock, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
  10. Continue to stir over high heat for 1-2 minutes, until the stock is absorbed and the rice is heated through. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve immediately.
