Fried Rice with Whatever

By á-24918

The white bits in this photo are lobster leftovers, but I think you can use whatever seafood or chicken, or whatever you have- or just follow this recipe as is. I also added some cooked broccoli that I had in the fridge brfore I added the rice. Think you could add whatever leftovers that would work.... mushrooms might be nice :-)

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 cups cooked rice (I used leftover from Chinese take out that I had frozen & thawed)
• 2 Tbs sesame oil
• 1 small white onion, chopped
• 1 cup frozen peas (or fresh if you have them)
• a couple of mini carrots chopped (about 6 or 7)
• 2-3 Tablespoons soy sauce (more or less to taste)
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 Tbsp chopped green onions (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a Ninja to high heat skillet. Pour sesame oil in the bottom. Add white onion and carrots and fry until tender. Add frozen peas.
Slide the onion, peas and carrots to the side, and pour the beaten eggs onto the other side. Using a spatula, scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.
Add the rice to the veggie and egg mixture. Pour the soy sauce on top. Stir and fry the rice and veggie mixture until heated through and combined. I added my cooked leftover cooked lobster - but you could add any leftover seafood or meat at this point. I stirred & then switched to warm after about 2 minutes.
Add chopped green onions if desired.

NOTES
* For the rice I used defrosted chinese rice that I had frozen. But you can cook rice in the morning or night before and refrigerate & then use in this recipe.
