Fried Rice

We love all food that is Asian at our house and so when my sister went to Taiwan this Summer I asked her for all the recipes she could get her hands on. This is one that she picked up. It is super good and it is even great as a leftover. It is also super flexible as you can add whatever veggies you have on hand. Even leftover ones. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

It is also handy because it is supposed to use up leftover rice. I generally make it the day after something with rice and just make enough extra for this recipe. I also usually double or triple the recipe so that I can be sure and have lots of leftovers.Fried Rice

Ingredients:
3 cups cold cooked rice (I used brown because it’s better for you, but Jasmine turns out excellent.)
-shrimp (or ham or whatever meat) if you would like, but I don’t use any meat.
3 large eggs scrambled
3 green onions or more diced
3 tablespoons cooking oil
Any other vegetables you want—baby corn, peas, broccoli, shredded carrot, etc.

Sauce:
In a bowl mix these ingredients-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (I use a microplane or a fine grater for mine.)
½ teaspoon salt

Directions:

Prepare the rice first and chill it.
Heat wok or large skillet with cooking oil in it. Add the rice and break up any clumps you might have. Try to cover the rice with the oil. Add the sauce over the rice and then the green onions, eggs and any other vegetables you want. Enjoy!
