Fried Rice

Here is a simple recipe for Fried Rice:


The most important thing to remember is start with cold rice. Use last night's leftovers, rake a fork through it to loosen the grains. This recipe uses about 3 cups cooked rice.


Fry 2/3 pcs of bacon in your wok. Cook until crispy then chop finely
Beat one egg and set aside
Chop an onion and saute it in the bacon fat.

Dump the separated rice into the hot grease, make sure it's not too much grease for you or add oil or butter if not enough. There needs to be enough to keep the rice from sticking to the pan. Stir constantly to separate all the grains. Make hole in the middle and pour in the egg. Cook slightly then stir egg into rice mixture. Pour a few tablespoons of soy sauce down the side of the wok and incorporate into the rice mixture. Keep stirring until it starts to stick to the bottom and it's ready to serve!

Variations: You can add vegetables, green onions and garlic are nice. Saute them with the onions. Leftover meat is great too, chicken and shrimp are my favorite. Chop them up and add after the rice. Pouring the soy sauce on the side of the wok allows it to smoke before it hits the rice, enhancing its flavor.
