Calrose

Calrose rice is a round, tender and succulent grain, allowing it to lock in moisture when it is cooked. This rice is often used in dishes that require a bit more creaminess, like paella or risotto. It is also ideal in your favourite Middle Eastern, Korean and Spanish dishes.

Method

  • To cook the white rice, in a saucepan, add 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stand, covered for 5 minutes. If you are not sure how, we have a helpful “How to Cook rice section” to make you a pro. If you would like to use a brown rice in this recipe, simply add an additional ½ a cup of water.

    Tip: For a quicker alternative, we also have a range of ready rices, that are ready to eat in 90 seconds!

  • After letting rice stand covered for 5 minutes, rinse then drain well. Spread out onto a baking tray. Refrigerate, uncovered for 2 hours or until cold. Combine oyster sauce, soy, sugar, wine and seasoning together.

    Tip: Spreading the rice onto a tray and refrigerating uncovered allows it to dry on the surface, this prevents it going ‘gluggy’ when stir-frying. If you're short on time, freeze the rice for 1 hour.

  • Heat a wok over medium heat until hot. Add 2 teaspoons of oil and swirl to coat the wok. Add the egg and swirl to form a wafer-thin omelette. Cook for 30 seconds or until egg sets. Slide onto a board. Roll up omelette and thinly slice crossways.

  • Wipe wok clean and heat over high heat until hot. Add remaining oil with onion, garlic, ginger, half the chilli and bacon or sausage, stir-fry for 2 minutes or until onion is soft. Add the prawns. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until prawns turn pink.

  • Add the rice, green onions, capsicum, peas and combined sauce. Stir-fry for 4 minutes or until rice is heated through. Stir in the sliced omelette. Sprinkle with remaining chilli. Serve.
