Baked "Fried" Rice
70k
Chef John
"If you don't have cold leftover rice around, this easy oven method will produce something very similar to the classic fried rice, with the perfect texture every time. Just like rice pilaf, the grains of rice get coated in fat before absorbing the cooking liquid, ensuring plump, tender, separate grains with no sticky clumps. Just adjust cooking time if using a different kind of rice or pan size. Garnish with green onions and serve with a runny poached egg on top if desired."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place rice in a large baking dish. Drizzle in canola and sesame oils; toss to coat rice completely. Add garlic, green onions, bell peppers, carrots, peas, and ham. Season with salt. Stir until well combined.
- Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and chile paste in a pot over high heat. Stir and bring to a boil. Pour on top of the rice and stir briefly. Cover top tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 32 minutes. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes. Uncover; fluff rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Return to the oven until rice is browned and crusted, about 10 minutes.

Footnotes
- Chef's Note:
- I used a 11-1/2x8x2-1/2-inch pan, but your standard 9x12-inch casserole dish will work the same. This method will work no matter what you add in, as long as everything is chopped finely enough to cook through.
- Some sesame oils can be very strongly flavored, and if that's the kind you have, the amount I poured over the top of my egg could overpower the dish, so be careful.
- Use Chinese barbecue pork instead of ham if available.
- To brown the top, you can also place the cooked rice under the broiler for a few minutes.

Used water instead of broth - still came out good but I think it would have been better with the broth. Also sauteed the vegetables beforehand as other reviewers suggested.

Excellent! Lots of leftover ham from Easter and this recipe fit the bill. Easy, quick and delicious. Used mixed vegetables for a low prep version.

I made it using the exact recipe but I did add a tsp of dashi (soup base). The dish came out perfect and delicious. I really recommend using the chili paste as it gives it a extra flavor profil...
