Fried Rice with Long Beans


I was craving for some fried rice so I bought a packet of long beans because I love fried rice with long beans. Nope, no cauliflower was harmed in the making of this fried rice. Once in a while I want a full blown fried rice.

I had cooked some extra rice a week before just to finish up the last bit of rice in the packet. The extra rice was kept in the freezer and came in handy when I wanted fried rice.


I also had a packet of marinated pork in the freezer and that was my protein for the fried rice. It's a very easy fried rice, the most "difficult" part was slicing the longs beans. After that, it was just a case of chucking stuff into the wok.

See those sliced chilies? They are those extremely hot red bird's eye chilies which I was unable to tolerate in the past. But of late, I can eat those. Weird, eh?


Anyway, this fried rice was delicious, if I may say so myself. Of course it lacked that wok hei fragrance that one gets when eating fried rice from the hawkers or restaurants. But still, it was good enough for me.

  1. I will usually slice long beans much finer/thinner than that - one may be cut into two or three. My missus does it like you. :D Same thing with my french beans:

  2. Do you ever use brown or multi-grain rice? I quite like the texture and nutty taste.

  4. Wah! So much chillies and so pedas! I would call this explosive & blown away fried rice.
    I am learning something from you by keeping the cooked rice inside the freezer instead at the bottom shelves. I believe that it makes better difference using frozen rice instead. Your nasi goreng looked colourful and delicious lah. I am hungry now.

    1. I love stashing food away into the freezer and I experimented with frozen rice. So these days, my leftover rice goes into the freezer for future fried rice or even porridge.

  15. For me, fried rice must have long beans/French bean because I couldn't think what's other vegetables more suitable for fried rice :P
    I saw you add in sweet soy sauce and I have a bottle in my pantry and never use before, maybe I should add it for my next fried rice.
