Chinese Fried Rice
Fried rice is my favorite way to use up leftover rice. It's so easy to make at home and a tasty way to use up leftovers.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cold day-old rice
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup frozen peas, corn, carrots medley
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked protein, ham, chicken, beef, etc
- 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
- 3 tbsp chopped green onions
- about 2 tbsp soy sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat wok to medium high heat and add in chopped garlic and a little of the oil. Once the aroma of the garlic comes out, add in frozen vegetables and cook until they are heated through.
- Add in the rice and the rest of the oil. Toss rice in oil at high heat. Add in chopped cooked protein and butter and continue to cook. Add in soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste.
- When rice is almost ready, shift it to the side and then add beaten egg to the empty side of the wok. Swirl the eggs to break them up and scramble them. When they are close to being cooked, add them back with the rice. Add scallions and stir. Serve warm.
