The best combination is freshly cooked rice along with shrimbs and loads of ketchup. When I say loads, i mean it literally!! Rice must be completely covered with ketchup, then it tastes the best!! Just try out my recipe and you will love, as I do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19964292.post-33214219106046912032008-06-22T09:53:00.000-07:002008-06-22T09:53:00.000-07:00I lived in Japan for almost 5 years and ketchup cooked into fried rice is common. Very good!Dipstophttp://www.thedipstop.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19964292.post-91307503436324352202008-03-06T11:30:00.000-08:002008-03-06T11:30:00.000-08:00I was doing a google search for ketchup and fried rice and found your blog. Supposedly, ketchup on fried rice (covered by a layer of cooked egg) became popular in Japan around the 1900s, so I think you're actually cooking authentic homestyle Japanese (and Korean) cooking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19964292.post-10833742418988226522007-11-23T17:05:00.000-08:002007-11-23T17:05:00.000-08:00Haha, I second Amy... but who knows, it seems Pei's got a yummy food thumb...

But just for not making my ketchup fried rice I will give you the general idea.<BR/><BR/>The base for fried rice is day old jasmine or Japanese short grain rice. What kind is up to you, but it should be cold and crumbly. Leftover take out rice is perfect. Let's say you have a pint sized container of rice.<BR/><BR/>Scramble two eggs until just barely cooked, remembering to salt. Set aside.<BR/><BR/>Sautee half a medium onion, diced, until cooked through or lightly browned around the edges. Add a cup of frozen peas and carrots, and half a cup of cubed ham and cook til warmed through. Feel free to substitute the add-ins. These are the ingredients I usually have on hand when I need emergency fried rice. Set vegetables aside.<BR/><BR/>Coat your pan well with a tablespoon or two of oil, and crumble in the rice over high heat. Sprinkle a teaspoon of salt over it, and a dash of soy sauce if you like. Mix well (the soy sauce is hard to mix evenly). Toss constantly until the rice is cooked through, then add your eggs and vegetables and toss thoroughly. Taste for salt, and then pepper. I like white pepper for fried rice. Good luck! Let me know how it goes.Pei-Hsuenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15241523210735443260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19964292.post-81821593960435750532007-11-21T10:17:00.000-08:002007-11-21T10:17:00.000-08:00Pei, do you rec a specific recipe for fried rice?
