Hawaii Style Fried Rice Variations

Fried rice in Hawaii is traditionally  is a creative dish to mix in all your left overs with some good flavor. Fried rice has so many different variations and creative ingredients to add. Below are two variations that I have created.  We always have bbq's in our home so I always take a few leftovers and throw them in the freezer keeping fried rice in mind. When you are grilling just put a piece of each( steak, chicken thigh, etc.) in small freezer ziploc bags for creating your own variations of Hawaii style fried rice..ENJOY!!!

Caroline’s Fried Rice-1

 

4-5 cups day old rice
2-3 pieces of bacon -chopped
½-1 whole Portuguese sausage- small chunks
2-3 pieces of Chinese sausage (only when I use to make musubi)
2-3 red hotdogs (gotta be the original RED HAWAII KINE!)

 

Leftover from the freezer (chopped teriyaki meat, steak, kalbi, char sui chicken, or teri chicken)
** make sure to use at least one of these meats to go with the hotdog and p.sausage at the least and not all at once at the most I use 5.

1 c. peas
½ c chopped green onion
¼ c diced onion
2 eggs- scrambled
Optional- shredded Takuwan(yellow pickled daikon)

 

 

For FLAVA:
Shoyu

Sesame oil

Maui oriental style dressing or NOH packet for fried rice

**(das MY secret so I not giving out the EXACT AMOUNT)
Oyster sauce

Sometimes Mirin

 

**I DON’T MEASURE USUALLY, I’M THE TYPE THAT JUST EYEBALLS AND TASTES)
