Fried Rice |
Here's a fried rice recipe that my family seems to love and is a nice change from potatoes. I have made this and substituted a can of mixed vegetables for the mushrooms, green onion and cabbage. I think you could do a lot of variations with this recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 beaten eggs
- 1/2 cup diced fully cooked ham
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
- Dash ground red pepper
- 3 cups unsalted cooked rice, chilled
- 2 cups chopped Chinese cabbage
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions
In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat, add eggs and cook without stirring till set. Loosen egg and invert skillet over cutting board to remove; cut into short, narrow strips.
In the skillet heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Cook ham, mushrooms, onion, gingeroot and red pepper in the hot oil for 3 minutes.
Stir in cooked rice, cabbage and egg strips; sprinkel with soy sauce and 1 tablespoon water. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or till heated through, tossing gently to coat with soy sauce. Serves 4.
Vegetable Fried Rice: Prepare as above, except omit ham and stir 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed, into the skillet with the rice.
