This recipe is a basic outline of how to make a really easy version of fried rice, it will probably not be as good as the kind in restaurants, and can be improvised on.

  1. Take the leftover cold rice out of the fridge. The rice will be cold.
  2. Get out a frying pan and put in on the burner, turn on the burner and add just enough vegetable oil to thinly coat most of the pan.
  3. Add rice to the pan, and stir it around with a spatula for about two minutes, do not turn the burner on too high, you don't want the rice to burn.
  4. Use the spatula to push the rice to one half of the pan, then push the pan to the side of the burner so that the empty side of the pan is in the middle of the burner.
  5. Turn up the burner high and add whisked eggs, stirring them with quick and choppy pushes of the spatula until the egg is cooked and in small pieces.
  6. Add frozen vegetable medley to the pan, move it back to the center of the burner and turn the heat down slightly. Mix all the ingredients together until everything is cooked and hot.
  7. Add soy sauce and sesame oil to taste. Stir it all up, and it's now ready to serve.

Tips

  • It is helpful to have all the ingredients on the counter, the dish can cook pretty fast if the heat is turned up high enough.
  • Other seasonings may include teriyaki sauce, red pepper, ketchup, and tomato sauce.
  • If frozen broccoli or other vegetables of that size are used, frozen centers can often put a damper on the deliciousness of the meal.
  • Any kind of frozen vegetables will work, but a medley of corn, carrots and green beans chopped up into tiny pieces tastes the best and cooks the fastest.
  • Brown rice can be substituted for white rice, but the cooking time has to be adjusted.
  • This fried rice will not be exactly the same as fried rice from a restaurant, but can be delicious all the same.

Warnings

  • Always be careful when near a stove, and remember to put the frozen vegetable bag back into the freezer and wash your hands when handling eggs.
