Instructions:
-
Prepare the Rice: In a large skillet, cook Minute Rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, add 3/4 to 1 cup of margarine, cover, and set aside.
-
Cook the Meat: In another large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the meat and brown it. Midway through cooking, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon of onion salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of Chinese five spice powder.
-
Season with Spices: Sprinkle in the sugar and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Add Vegetables: Toss in all the chopped vegetables, ensuring they’re evenly coated in the savory sauce. Cover the skillet and let the vegetables cook for 3 minutes.
-
Uncover and Cook: Remove the lid and continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly while retaining their crispness.
-
Prepare the Fried Rice: Turn the heat on the rice skillet to high. Mix the melted margarine into the rice. Add the remaining soy sauce and all the remaining spices, ensuring they’re evenly distributed. Also, pour in about 1/2 cup of oil to impart richness and flavor.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the rice is well-coated and seasoned, add the cooked meat and vegetables to the skillet. Mix all the ingredients together until they’re thoroughly combined.
-
Fry the Rice: Increase the heat to high and fry the rice mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Finish Cooking: After 5 minutes, stir the rice again and continue frying for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly browned and crisped to perfection.
