Fried Rice

Kelly shares her family recipe for fantastic Fried Rice. This has always been a simple, clean-out-the-fridge kind of thing to make with whatever you have that needs using. It makes a great side dish, or add some cooked meat such as shrimp, pork belly or chicken and serve it as a main dish.

Materials

  • 1 1/2 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 Cup rice
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3/4 Cup Celery Chopped Small
  • 4 Mushrooms Chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Onions
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Tamari
  • 1/2 Cup Frozen Peas
  • 1 Egg Beaten

Instructions

  • Make the rice. Combine 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup of rice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered while you saute the vegetables.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the celery, mushrooms and onion and stir to combine. Add the butter and let cook for about 10 minutes, until the onions have softened and become translucent.
  • Add the rice and tamari, stir, and let cook for 10 to 15 minutes stirring infrequently until the bottom of the pan begins to brown and get crispy.
  • Stir in the frozen peas. Add the egg and cook, stirring until the egg is cooked.
  • Serve right away or hold on low heat until you are ready to plate.

Notes

Use vegetable oil or water for the rice to make a vegetarian dish.
Use whatever vegetables you have on hand. This is a good recipe for cleaning out the refrigerator. Broccoli, cauliflower, pre-cooked carrots, spinach and kale are some of the possibilities.
Add small cubes of pre-cooked meat such as bacon, pork belly, chicken, etc to make this a main dish.
