Easy Fried Rice

I just love Chinese food and I especially like Chinese food when I am completely stressed out! With that being said when I am stressed, I don’t usually want to go out for dinner and I also don’t want to pay for the food to be delivered. So I went on a little quest to find some delicious Chinese food I can make at home that does not take All day to make.  So you are in for four great recipes.  I am starting with this rice recipe as it was so easy, fast and hands down scrumptious! I had five adults that had this rice and it was gone in no time, not one grain to be left! We all loved this. The recipe is supposed to serve eight but the five of us ate it all and could have had more!!! That good!! This recipe does call for already cooked rice.  I made this rice in the morning and made the fried rice in the evening and it was perfect!

INGREDIENTS
3 cups COOKED white rice
2 Tablespoons sesame oil
1 small white onion, chopped
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
2 to 3 Tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce (use to taste)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 Tablespoons chopped scallions

DIRECTIONS
Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat. Add sesame oil to the hot pan along with the chopped onion, peas and carrots and fry until tender. Slide the vegetables to the side of the pan and add your lightly beaten eggs to the empty side of the pan and cook through. Once cooked mix the eggs with the vegetables. Add the cooked rice to the pan and add the soy sauce and mix until everything is combined and heated through.  Add the scallions and serve warm.

Enjoy!
