I’m trying to cook more. The problem with me is that I’m not exact. I tend to get to excited and just dive on in. Which is how I ended up with too much rice. I had made rice to go with a frozen stir fry meal I had. I didn’t measure the rice, I put in what I thought was the right amount…but it was way too much. I randomly decide to sub water for beef broth…as that is all I had and I wanted a little more flavor out of my jasmine rice. Well it turned out pretty good. But I was tired of eating stir fry with rice after a few days, so decided to try to make Fried Rice.
I had a good idea on the basics: Rice, eggs, carrots, peas, soy sauce. Which is good, because that is about all I had. I then added in chives, sesame oil, and used vegetable oil in a wok to cook everything.
Essentially, start with the eggs, a few drops of soy sauce & sesame oil, and chives in a bowl.
Then I put a little oil on the wok on medium-high heat.
Once the egg is cooked and chopped up, add in the rice, and veggies and turn up the heat.
Then I just cooked and added more sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
It might not look amazing, but it sure did taste good! And it was so quick to make!
