Fried Rice

We are big Chinese fans at our house. The owner of the local delivery restaurant calls me "swetheart" when I call.
I think my family bought her a boat this summer.
I am sure the kids went to Ivy League schools on my tab.

Then I realized just how easy it was to make things like fried rice at home.

We make this all the time. Have left over meat? Throw it in!
Just feel like corn this time? Do it!!

Ingredients:
2-3 Cups cooked rice
1-2 eggs, scrambled
1 Cup mixed vegetables
1 Tsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
3 Green onions, cut thin
Soy Sauce
Rice Vinegar



Directions:
1. In large skillet, saute rice until warmed
2. Mix in egg, onion, and vegetables.
3. Add ginger. Season with soy sauce and rice vinegar to taste
4. Add sesame seeds right before serving

  9. Thanks for posting this recipe, I have wanted to try for a while. Can you give estimates on the amount of soy sauce and rice vinegar. Also, which ingredient changes the color of the rice? (I don't want to use egg)

    1. The soy sauce and rice vinegar is usually to taste...I am thinking I use a couple tablespoons of soy and maybe 1 1/2 Tsp of the rice vinegar.
      Feel free to leave out the egg, I do it when I make this for a certain friend of mine, it's no big deal. (love when you can mix and match in a recipe!). As far as the color change, it is the soy that changes the color of the rice.
