Day 2, Fried Rice

FRIED RICE 

Saturday once again and the dilemma of what to cook or eat for dinner was at hand.  It had to be something easy and not too fussy to cook. We decided to make fried rice with half of the scampi left from yesterday´s pasta dish.

I usually use a leftover rice from the day before when I make fried rice and separating the rice by a fork or by hand.

You may use any type of meat or vegetables that you have a leftover from the day before.  This would make to a very good fried rice.

3     tbs    oil
1     pc     onion, minced
1     tsp    curry powder
1/2  cup   scampi, deveined & rinsed
1     pc     carrot, diced
1     can   green peas
2     eggs beaten, w/ 1/2 tsp salt
500 gram cooked jasmine rice
       salt & pepper to taste
2    spring onions, chopped

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan on high heat until smoking, then saute the onion and curry powder.  Add the scampi until it is cook. Then  add the carrots & green peas.  

Stir in the beaten eggs and a minute later mix in the the cooked jasmine rice. Spread out the rice so it all heats through, and continue to stir-fry for a couple of minutes until some of the rice has just begun to caramelise and toast.

Throw over the spring onions and serve immediately.
