Fried Rice

This should work with chicken, pork, shrimp, or tofu, or without any meat. Veggies can be changed to snow peas, water chestnuts, broccoli, etc.

Ingredients

2 c. white rice

4 c. water

2/3 c. chopped baby carrots

1/2 c. frozen peas

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

2 eggs 

Soy sauce to taste

Sesame oil to taste

2 chicken breasts or 1 lb. shrimp

Directions

Pre-cook chicken or shrimp 

Combine rice and water

Bring to boil

Reduce heat, cover, simmer 20 minutes

Boil carrots in water about 3-5 minutes

Drop peas in boiling water and drain

Heat to medium-high

Pour in oil, stir in veggies, cook 30 seconds (note: it's very important to stir continually from this point forward to keep the contents from burning to the pan - do not turn the heat down or everything will turn mushy)

Stir in pre-cooked meat if desired

Crack in eggs, stirring quickly to scramble

Stir in rice

Stir in soy sauce and toss

Drizzle with sesame oil and toss again
