Mexican Fried Rice

May 29, 2013 By Eleanor Hoh 22 Comments

Mexican Wok Fried Rice is the perfect dish to incorporate my Asian heritage for Asian Pacific Heritage month for a Let’s Lunch post, pay respect to my mom for Mother’s Day and celebrate Cinco de Mayo on a yacht.

I think my mom would be tickled that I used my cast iron wok to make a Mexican dish!

For me, a Mexican dish has to include chorizo but I didn’t realize Mexican chorizo (firm texture) is different from the Spanish kind (soft crumbly), so I experimented with both. I discovered Quijote chorizos, one of the most well known brands is manufactured right here in Miami.   It’s just like Chinese sausage, lots of fat which has to be rendered out, the trick is to fry on medium low heat in the wok and drain on paper towels.
I used the same process to cook this dish as Pineapple Stir Fried Rice except without eggs, different veggies, meat and added in saffron buds to get the reddish yellow color. You can watch my video that shows you how from scratch.  Multi colored bell peppers, onions and tomatoes gave texture and color.  The shrimp was seasoned and fried just like I do for an Asian stir fry, and everything was combined in two batches in the wok.  It was 1am by the time I finished with all the photo taking but I really wanted to show you can successfully make dishes from all over the world in a wok!  Mission accomplished.

Shelley’s healthy chicken salad, pineapple salsa with smoked chipotle sauce to make into a wrap. There was also pulled pork to make into wraps with all the fixings and of course, my Mexican Wok Fried Rice.
Thanks to Pamela & Brett for a glorious yacht day to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!  They were so cute with their radio gear to steer the boat instead of shouting. We all brought a potluck dish to share and everything went really well together.

    this looks so delicious! My husband hates eggs, so I never make Frittata’s which is a shame. Have you tried freezing this or something similar. I’m thinking for my breakfast or lunch, I could make ahead. Let me know, much appreciated!

    I make something very similar and freeze it. The trick is to reheat it in the oven and not the microwave (which makes it weird and soggy).

    An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do think that you need to publish more about this topic, it
    might not be a taboo subject but usually people don’t
    talk about such subjects. To the next! Best wishes!!

    Not enough physical exertion, bad nutrition, cigarettes,
    as well as excessive alocohol consumption may be all reasons
    behind lower testosterone which is changed by way of changing your living
    habits. Some seniors function at a high level even into
    their eighties and longer. An interesting study would be
    the effects of D-Asp and Tribulus together in healthy male adults.
