This recipe is so good that I don’t even wait until I have leftover rice to make it! Sometimes, I’ll just pressure cook up some rice and serve it with pot stickers from Costco. So easy, so fun, and SO DELICIOUS!
FRIED RICE (Chinese Leftovers)
3 green onions cut on the diagonal thin (part tops too)
3 C Cold cooked rice
3 oz or 1/3 C Pork (or try for 1 Cup chopped left over meat about like ham, pork, chicken
1/2 C raw chopped shrimp-optional (If you use drained canned shrimp, decrease the salt)
left over cooked vegetables like peas and carrots (Optional)
3 Eggs, whisked (Sorry, no powdered egg conversion for this…it doesn’t work well)
4 T oil
1 T soy sauce
If using raw shrimp, dip in 1 tsp corn starch and fry in 2 T oil. Cook until done and remove from Wok or frying pan.
You may want to crisp other meat too.
Add the Eggs, Oil, and Soy Sauce and beat together. Add to hot wok, when it starts to set, add meat, rice, vegetables, 2 tsp salt, toss, add green onions, toss and serve.
For more variety you can add some chopped carrots or any of the following in any combination: celery, peas, snow peas, broccoli, thin slices of any meat. If calories don't matter start by frying some bacon well done. Remove bacon & crumble. Use oil off of the bacon instead of olive oil. I have even added slices of hotdogs when my children we little. They loved it. In Hawaii they add small pieces of spam.
