Fried Rice


  • Ingredients

  • 2 cups enriched white rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 2/3 cup chopped baby carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen green peas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • soy sauce to taste

optional

sesame oil
4 cups broth (for the rice)
meat

1. Make the rice

2. In a small saucepan, boil carrots in water about 3 to 5 minutes. Drop peas into boiling water, and drain.

3.Heat wok over high heat. Pour in oil, then stir in carrots and peas; cook about 30 seconds. Crack in eggs, stirring quickly to scramble eggs with vegetables. Stir in cooked rice. Shake in soy sauce, and toss rice to coat. Drizzle with sesame oil, and toss again.

Notes

1. I cooked my rice in beef broth for flavor and I think it was really good that way. It gave it some extra flavor so it wasn't just soy sauce.

2. We cut tiny pieces of bacon and put it in there and it was very tasty.

3. The sesame oil is optional. It was good with it but you can definitely taste it so if you don't want that to be a dominant flavor, don't use it.

4. The soy sauce is about 1/3 cup. Not a ton.

5. We used this with some pot stickers and loved it.

This was really good. I didn't have bacon but I can see how that would be so tasty. You will all laugh but I added a half cup of corn and thought it was a good addition. Thanks Mere. I will make this again. Blake especially love it.
