Cook with Mitch: Fried Rice w/veggies

Tonya needed a recipe so that she could make some stir fried rice today

3 cups of cooked rice

3 tablespoons butter

2 eggs (scrambled)

1 white onion (diced)

2 cups of frozen carrots and peas

3 to 4 tablespoons of soy sauce

Stock pot to cook the rice

Frying pan (non-stick, or cast iron)

Cutting board

Sharp knife

Prepare the rice a head of time. I the rice ready while I'm doing everything else. I also use minute rice.

I diced the onions really small. I fried them up, at medium heat, in the butter till translucent. 8 to 10 minutes.

I added the scrambled eggs and cooked them. Breaking up the eggs so that they were no larger than the size of a pea.

I added the rice, carrots and peas. Then added the soy sauce. Mixed everything up.

Continue to fry the rice. I do this for another 8 to 10 minutes on medium heat.

Once heated throughout, served right away.

This rice re-heats easily.

You can embellish this basic recipe. Add shredded chicken/ham. Add garlic. Sesame oil or Olive Oil to supplement the butter.

Comments and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome.
