Add soy sauce, then toss until the rice and eggs are well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat down to low, then cook the rice until you hear a bit of sizzle from the bottom. It just means that the rice is getting a bit toasted.

Pecan Pie

written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 50 mins | Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins | Yield: 12 Servings

This Pecan Pie will become your favorite just after one bite! Enjoy this delicious treat in just about an hour of prepping and baking! I have listed all the ingredients and directions so all you need to do is to follow them step by step, and you are good to go! The best thing about this pie is the chopped pecans. I experimented a bit and used chopped instead of the traditional pecan halves. Well, my experiment was a success! It’s for you to find out! Try this recipe now, and taste perfection yourself. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 cup corn syrup

1 cup (heaping) chopped pecans

3/4 teaspoon vanilla

1 whole unbaked pie crust (I use “Sylvia’s Perfect Pie Crust” recipe)

1/3 cup melted butter (salted)

3 tablespoons brown sugar

3 whole Eggs, beaten

1 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, add eggs, butter, sugar, salt, corn syrup, vanilla, salt, and brown sugar. Beat everything until well incorporated.

Scatter the chopped pecans into the prepared pie shell.

Spread the syrup mixture on top of the pecans. Cover it with aluminum foil.

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for half an hour. Remove the cover, then bake for 20 more minutes or until the top bounces back when poked.

Remove the Pecan Pie from the oven and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes at room temperature.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.
