Fried Rice

Fried rice is like a blank canvas.  Of course, it is delicious as is, but imagine the possibilities of ingredients which can be included:  shrimp, chicken, pork, beef, any number of additional vegetables.  

Tonight I cooked beef and broccoli stir fry to serve along with the fried rice.  

2 T. oil

3 cups cooked, cooled rice

1 half yellow onion, diced

1 envelope Sun Bird Fried Rice Seasoning Mix

2 t. soy sauce

1/2 cup matchstick cut carrots

1 cup green peas, cooked

2 eggs, beaten

In a large skillet, heat oil and stir fry rice and onions until onions are softened.

Add seasoning packet and soy sauce and stir fry for one minute.

Push rice to the side, pour in eggs and scramble eggs.  Stir into rice.

Add peas and protein if using.  Serve immediately with a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top.
