Instructions
1
Begin by preparing your rice. Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add 2 cups of uncooked parboiled rice, remove from heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Afterward, remove the lid and let the rice stand for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the remaining water.
2
While the rice cooks, prepare the white dipping sauce. In a medium bowl, combine mayo, sugar, salt, garlic juice, ketchup, Tabasco sauce, ground mustard, paprika, black pepper, white pepper, and water. Whisk until smooth, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3
Next, slice the chicken and steak into bite-sized pieces and chop the vegetables (onions and zucchini) accordingly. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in two separate large skillets over medium-high heat.
4
In one skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and then add the chicken or steak. Sauté the meat while seasoning with a dash of salt and pepper, stirring often until cooked through.
5
In the second skillet, add the sliced onions and zucchini with an additional tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and a dash of salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables in portions for 7 to 8 minutes or until they reach your desired tenderness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
6
Once the chicken or steak is nearly done, add the sliced mushrooms along with a tablespoon of butter and a splash of soy sauce. Mix well and continue to sauté until the mushrooms are tender.
7
For the fried rice, in a large skillet, toss the cooked rice with scrambled eggs, grated carrots, peas, and diced onion. Melt about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet, then add the vegetable-rice mixture. Fry over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently and adding soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste to prevent burning.
8
Divide the cooked vegetables and meat among plates, then serve the fried rice alongside. Drizzle generously with the prepared white sauce for added flavor and enjoyment.
