Fried rice

This recipe would probably horrify a Chinese cook, but it works for me. I don't have a wok, and it's really not necessary to use one. I prepare all the ingredients, and then combine them in a large pot.

This amount will serve 3 people.

Ingredients
1 cup Jasmine rice
1 medium onion (or use spring onions)
3 rashers bacon
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups frozen vegies - peas/peas and corn/frozen mixed vegies.
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
any other vegies you like - broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms.

Method
Cook the rice according to directions on the packet (I prefer the absorption method)
When it's done, fluff it up with a fork, and put aside.

Heat a frypan and add a little oil. Beat the eggs lightly and pour into the frypan, cook gently until set. Remove the resulting omelette to a plate and chop roughly. Set aside.

Fry the onion, mushrooms (if using) and bacon in the same pan. When cooked to your liking, transfer to a large saucepan or a deep frypan. Add the rice and egg, stir gently to combine.
Mix in a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce - you can add more at the table, if needed.

Lightly steam the frozen vegies, celery and broccoli, (I do them in the microwave) and add to the pot.

You're done! Either reheat gently on the stove top, or by the bowl in the microwave.


40 Bags update - I'm plodding along with this, still de-cluttering the kitchen, haven't removed a lot of stuff in the last couple of days, unless you count grease and dust - I have too much open shelving!
