[quote=Anonymous]Fried Rice

Rice:  I use traders 2 packs of their frozen Jasmine rice OR Whole Foods 2/3 of their frozen jasmine Rice.  Alternatively make sushi rice - 1 cup

4-5 eggs (just depends on my mood) blended as you are going to scramble and salt/pepper to taste
4-5 sausages (you can substitute deli ham or if you wanted sausage) - I use frozen whole foods maple and chicken sausage.  Microwave and then chop into little pieces
5-6 scallions chopped (Traders has prepackaged green scallions already washed)
1/2-1 cup peas or peas/carrots mix (I use whole foods frozen mini peas/carrots blend)
salt/pepper to taste

This takes me 20 minutes and feeds 4-6 people on the whole..because all I'm doing is chopping in scallions really.

1. fry up all the eggs in a wok or frying pan is fine - you want it to be sizzling hot for the eggs to set.  As soon as they set, take them out - so in other words, it does not have to be thoroughly cooked, you just want it to set into one big blob.

2. Cook the rice that has been thawed/room temperature with scallions for 1-2 minutes
3. Dump eggs back in and scramble into rice until the eggs are well done
4. Dump the sausages/veggies in
Add salt/pepper to taste

My 2 and 4 yr old particularly like this.  This honestly takes 20 min, you microwave everything, it's healthy and it's not expensive.  You can substitute proteins - chicken/pork for the sausage/ham.  I use sausage/ham only cause it's so easy and the bit of sweetness in the maple flavors make the fried rice nice for the kiddies :)  Also you can substitute soy sauce v. salt.  Any other veggies like put more onions, put in broccoli, red peppers, etc. if you wish.

[b]Please note: [/b] Fried rice gets it's flavor from the eggs.  You want to have enough eggs in and scallions in.  You want it to really mix into the rice.  With practice you can just add the rice into the eggs without dumping the eggs first.  You don't necessairly have to do that.  Old rice - stale rice that is not too moist is ideal. However, I personally prefer freshly made sushi rice because sushi rice is a larger grain and I like that better than jasmine grains.  That's just me :)

Voila - 5 min later - this fried rice
