Vegetable Fried Rice

This is a really easy fried rice recipe.  Today I made it without chicken or shrimp but you certainly can make it with that if you want.  Use about 1/2 pound of shrimp or chicken.  Just make sure to cut it up in small pieces first.

Vegetable Fried Rice

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 tbsp. canola oil

2 large eggs, beaten

6 scallions, sliced thinly

1 onion, diced

1 tbsp. minced ginger

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

2 tbsp. low salt soy sauce

2 cups cold white rice

2 tsp. rice vinegar

2 tsp. sesame oil

Directions 

Heat 1 tbsp. of the oil in a large non stick saucepan over medium high heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until scrambled and cooked through, about 2 minutes.  Transfer to a plate.

Heat remaining 1 tbsp. oil in the same pan.  Add the scallions, onions and ginger; cook, stirring frequently and until onions are soft about 5 minutes.   Add the rice, peas, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 4 minutes.

Add the egg and shrimp/chicken (if using); cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 minutes.
