Chofan [Recipe + Video] Dominican Fried Rice Chow Fan
Learn how to make Chofan (Dominican Chow Fan), the Dominican version of Chinese fried rice, a homage to my much-enjoyed weekend meals in Santo Domingo Chinatown.
¼cupof chives diced finely(or scallions, if you don't have chive)
Instructions
1. Cook vegetables
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a wok (or large skillet or a big pot, if you don't have a wok). Add the pork chops and cook and stir till they brown. Add the carrots and cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add the celery and cook and stir for another 30 seconds. Add bell pepper and onion and sauté and stir for 30 seconds.
2. Cook rice
Add the cooked rice, and the peas and green beans, (if you use them) and mix well until there are no clumps of rice left. Drizzle with soy sauce to taste and mix well.
3. Serve
Remove from the heat and serve. Garnish with the chives.

Notes
The 8 cups are of cooked rice. Keep an eye on the salt content, as the soy sauce contains a lot of it, I prefer to use low-salt soy sauce.For this dish you need oil with a very high smoking point, olive oil is not good for it. If you are searching for alternatives to these vegetable oils, try avocado or coconut oil.
