Fried Rice
Fried RiceI’ve always loved fried rice. When I have a choice for white or fried rice, I choose fried every time. I had no idea how easy it was to make until a few years ago. I’ve converted my family to loving it as well and started making it large batches.
How to make fried rice
Fried rice is so much easier than it sounds. It only takes a few minutes and steps more beyond just regular plain white rice. While there are lots of recipes out there with variations of it, I prefer the straight forward version.
- Prepare 3 cups of white rice as you normally would. I like using a rice cooker because it comes out right every time – it’s always a 2:1 ratio. 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water.
- Break eggs into a bowl and add a bit of water before preparing scrambled eggs and setting aside.
- Heat package of frozen peas and carrots in microwave according to directions.
- In pan (can use scrambled eggs pan or fresh pan), spray with cooking spray, add vegetables, cooked rice, and soy sauce.
- Stir in scrambled eggs, and cubed ham (can use leftover ham, deli cut ham, etc) and cook for an additional one minute.
