Fried Rice

I made some rice for something else and had a bunch left over which inspired me to try and make some fried rice, which is something I've wanted to try for quite some time.

I thought it was going to be so much harder, but really it was SO easy! So if you're a fan this might be for you! I did not make it with any meat in it because I made the BBQ Short Ribs to go with it and forgot to pull some aside for the rice. Anyway, still good, so here we go!

Fried Rice!

Ingredients:
4 Tbsp Vegetable Oil (you use 1 and 2 here and there)
1 medium onion diced
1-1/2 c frozen vegetables (carrots, peas and corn)
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp ground ginger
4 eggs (beaten)
4 c cooked (cold) rice (I used Brown rice)
Salt and Pepper - for taste

1. In a large skillet or wok, over med-high heat, heat up the pan and then 1 Tbsp vegetable oil.


2. Cook onions in wok in vegetable oil and cook til translucent and fragrant.

3. Add frozen vegetables, garlic and ginger. Cook until defrosted, but tender and warm. Salt and Pepper to taste.


4. Remove the vegetable mixture from the pan and set aside in a seperate bowl.

5. Add 1 Tbsp vegetable oil to pan, then fry the eggs in the same pan. Salt and pepper to taste. When cooked and broken up, add to the bowl of vegetables.

6. Add 2 Tbsp vegetable oil to pan, and add the 4 cups of cold rice to pan. Get rice how and started to brown and hot. I change it to High to heat the rice.
