Recipe: Fried Rice

This is more or less a no brainer, but I think this one gets the proportions just right.

Ingredients:

3-4 cups leftover cooked rice [It really does have to be cold.]
2 carrots, chopped and cooked [I microwaved with a little water for 3 minutes.]
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped [Chinese garlic is weaker than American- you might try 3]
3 eggs, scrambled
2 Tbs oil
3 Tbs dark soy sauce

1. Cook the garlic and onions in the oil until the onion is clear.
2. Add rice to wok, mixing well with onion. Cook until rice is warmed through, stirring constantly.
3. Add soy sauce, mixing well.
4. Add eggs and carrots. Cook 1 minutes longer.
5. Serve warm.

You can also add other veggies like bell peppers or snow beans. Thick vegetables do best when cooked ahead, but thin things like sprouts and pea pods can just be tossed in and cooked for a minute or two.
