These past few years being with my Chinese girlfriend I’ve had more Chinese food in 2 years then my previous 35 years. I like to cook them “American food” (her families quote). Tonight we had a fried rice that had some kind of shrimp in it. Also had some kind of green stuff that looks like green onion in it. I don’t ask I just listen to her mother “eat” she says.

I don't usually use meat in my fried rice. I start with a little peanut oil and quickly saute some onion, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes (I'm loving calabrian right now). Then I add day-old rice. Once that's heated, I make a well in the center and add eggs. Then add frozen peas and diced carrots. Once heated, I'll douse everything with low-sodium soy and oyster sauce, occasionally some fish sauce if I want to add a little umami boost. I finish with cashews for more crunch and green onion. Sometimes I'll use just a touch of toasted sesame oil.
If I do use meat, I'll velvet some chicken or use shrimp. I have used homemade bacon before, and that was pretty incredible. |

Oh good call. I do love some water chestnuts and baby corns sometimes. ANd I forgot that I will occasionally finish with a touch of rice wine vinegar or squeeze of lemon to brighten things up.

Also, you mentioned earlier, a touch of sesame oil. Great point! I have found it is really easy to get too much and over power the dish. Also, it can get too hot and have a nasty taint. |

And yeah, sesame oil is powerful stuff. A little goes a long way. And you "nasty taint" comment is why I used it at the end. |

Sesame oil is not a cooking oil, low flashpoint. and absorbs flavors when heated, has very short life and must be out of light, preferably refrigerated. Maybe that's why it has an ass taste to it?
Smaller amounts of baby corn come pickled in glass bottles.

Shrimp fried rice. Usually, it has the eggs, carrots, and whatever green veggies in there.

BTW, we've been playing with a "fried rice" that's actually baked cauliflower. It's pretty awesome.
