Fried Rice

(no picture yet, I'll try to add one next time!)

3 eggs beaten

4-5 Tbsp canola oil

chopped cooked ham, pork, shrimp or chicken

1 chopped onion

2 Finely chopped carrots

1 cup peas

6 cups cold cooked brown rice

4 Tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

salt and pepper to taste

Fry beaten eggs in the 1/2 the oil, remove from heat, cut into shreds Return egg to pan with chopped meat, add onion and veggie, and remaining oil, cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes. Add the rice. Mix the soy sauce with the sugar and dribble over rice. Stir until hot.

*I didn't add peas or salt or meat, as we had this as a side with grilled chicken I got this recipe 15 years ago from my friend Janet. I finally made it the other night and it was a hit with all my kiddos and we had NO leftovers! I fixed the recipe to feed more and added the pepper part, as I like pepper on my food!

**My friend very much stressed that the rice be cold. I made the rice and put it in the freezer and checked it a few times and stirred while cutting and preparing the rest.
