Fried Rice

This is straight from Menus4Mom. My notes are in italics, and the pictures are from my kitchen. :)

Fried Rice (with ham)

• rice, cooked (about 2-3 cups)

• 1 egg

• 1 onion, chopped

• frozen peas and carrots, thawed

• corn if you like it

• meat (optional, not on grocery list)

• soy sauce or tamari

Cook rice according to directions.

Heat some oil in wok or deep fry pan (I use about a tablespoon) and scramble one egg in it. Remove egg and add some more oil (I add about 3 tbsp) to the pan, heating.

Add chopped onion, some thawed peas & carrots (and corn if you like), and anything else you like in your rice. We sometimes add leftover chicken or canned baby shrimp. (I added this tiny diced ham)

When the onions are tender, add the rice and add soy sauce to taste and stir with a big flat wooden spoon or large cooking chopsticks, if you have them (mine are about 18" long).

Add the cooked egg near the end of cooking time and stir well. When the rice is heated through and a bit crispy, it is ready to serve.
