Lox Fried Rice 燻鮭魚炒飯
Fried rice is one of my goto when I am too tired to cook or when it comes to cleaning up the leftover ingredients in my fridge. It’s so easy to make, simply throw all the leftover ingredients in the wok, stir fry, add in the leftover rice, season with your desired seasoning, and then voila.
We were having a summer party the other day and I bought a lot of lox. We ended up with some extra and there was no way I was going to let it go to waste. Of course we could buy more bagel to make ourselves some more lox sandwich with cream cheese. But why not having something different and fun? Hence, I created this lox fried rice with those leftover lox, and it was a big hit. So here it is, I am sharing this amazing recipe with you all, and hope you enjoy it as well :)

Ingredients
Lox 2-3 slices, finely chopped **see notes
Overnight rice 1 cup
Red chili, ½, thinly sliced

Dried shallot 1 TBS, for serving
Instructions
Heat the oil in the wok, add in the shallot and stir fry for about 30 minutes until translucent, add in the chili and cook for another 10-15 seconds until aromatic.
Add in the rice and use the spatula to break the rice chunk apart. Stir to mix all ingredients together.
Add in the soy sauce along the edge of the wok, stir the rice to make sure the soy sauce is absorbed evenly.
