Leftovers Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 3 cups (240 grams) leftover cooked rice (see note)
• 4 tablespoons oil of your choice
• 2 large eggs (beaten)
• 1 yellow onion (chopped small)
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or chicken stock
• Leftover veggies (green beans, carrots, peas * see note)
• Leftover chicken (beef or pork/ham or seafood, cut into bite-size pieces)
• Green onions/scallions (chopped for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   To a large frying pan (wok, or enameled/non-stick cast iron pan) over medium heat add the 2 tablespoons of oil. When hot add the eggs and stir quickly to scramble, do not brown. Remove to a bowl immediately. Wipe out the pan.

2. 2

   Add more oil to the pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion and cook, stirring often until just starting to soften. Add the rice to the pan in a single layer and allow to fry for a minute, stirring a couple of times. Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil and stock/broth. Drizzle all over the rice and stir quickly so each grain absorbs the flavors. Stir in the leftover vegetables, protein and scrambled egg.

3. 3

   Serve immediately garnished with green onions/scallions.
