Introduction

Below is good video showing how to make "fried" rice with no oil. Very low fat/oil recipes dehydrate best.
I use the video guy's fat free "frying" technique, except that I add soy sauce, etc, and don't use eggs. I also use brown rice. You can use homemade rice, but I prefer the way Minute Rice rehydrates.

Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

    100 gram(s) Minute Brown Rice (raw) - 50 grams = 1/2 cup
    5 grams dried mushrooms

    2 small (5-1/2" long) Carrots, raw
    Pulsed in food processor.

    2 stalk, medium (7-1/2" - 8" lon Celery, raw
    Pulsed in food processor.

    1/2 cup Peas, frozen

    Mix in cup or jar:
    20 grams Soy Sauce
    1/2 tsp dried or grated fresh ginger
    1/2 tsp Chili Sauce, Hunan Red, Heavenly Chef
    1 fl oz Sake or sherry
    1 oz mushroom soaking liquid

    2 green onions - dehydrated separately

    pack separately (a 50 ml "airline" vodka or whiskey bottle works well)
    Add on the trail.
    5 grams Peanut Oil
    4 grams Sesame Oil

Directions

Soak Minute rice and mushrooms together for 2 hours. The mushroom water really flavors the rice!

Chop the softened mushroom into 1/4" pieces.
No need to cook the rice.

Boil 1/2 cup of water or broth in a non stick pan or skillet.
Pulse carrots and celery in food processor in 1/4" pieces and add to boiling water. Add frozen peas to the carrots/celery in pan and cook for 10 minutes. Water will evaporate from the pan.

Drain rice/mushrooms. (Save the flavorful liquid!) Add rice/mushrooms to vegetables/pan to make fried rice with no oil.

Add soy, ginger, chili, sake and mix into "fried" rice.

Dehydrate until all ingredients are dry. Put dry ingredients in a ziplock bag. Add two previously dehydrated green onions for a pop of color and flavor.

Put oils into a bottle that won't spill. Airplane sized 50 ml liquor bottles work well.

Add oil on trail, after rehydrating rice and vegetables.

Can be eaten hot or cold. I usually go stove-less and rehydrate for 3-4 hours in cold water.
