Segment 5 (Cheryl’s Recipe Corner)
- Quick Fried Rice
I am a HUGE fan of Fried Rice, especially since it can be turned into a quick meal when you’ve got some leftovers in the fridge. The biggest key to fried rice is using rice that has been cooked and refrigerated previously. It gets “crispy” when you stir-fry it, whereas freshly cooked rice doesn’t. However, using freshly cooked rice works, too!. So next time you think you’re going to have some leftovers in the fridge, cook up some rice and have it waiting to be thrown together into your masterpiece.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups cooked white rice, rinsed and chilled
1 (10-ounce) package frozen vegetables, thawed*
3 scallions or green onions, sliced
1/3 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2-3 eggs, scrambled
Directions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add rice and stir-fry 10 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and scallions/green onions and continue to stir-fry 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring in scrambled egg. Serve! If you have leftover chicken, steak, shrimp, pork, etc. you can cut it into small pieces and warm it up to add to your rice for a one-dish meal. Frozen mixed vegetables that are suggested have small pieces of carrots and peas but any frozen vegetables work well, especially when turning this into a one-dish meal.
