Fried Rice

Of all the recipes I have made over the years, there are some recipes I just tend to mess up. It's always the quick dishes I'm trying to make in a hurry like bacon. I don't know how many times I have burnt bacon. I think it's the standing there and being focused on one thing when I have children running around, phones ringing, and other distractions. Well, my husband always request his bacon crispy just not that crispy. I have also attempted to make fried rice several times but I was doing something wrong. So, we tend to go to a local Hibachi table where they prepare the food in front of you. I figured if I went enough times then I would learn the technique. Do you like my reasoning? When I made this recipe, the kids said it tasted just like when we go out to eat. My daughter asked me to make it again tomorrow. I finally made edible fried rice so next will be bacon. 

Fried Rice
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
3 cups cooked, room temperature Jasmine rice
3 Tbsp Tamari soy sauce
2 eggs, beaten lightly

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, heat the 3 Tbsp vegetable oil over medium high heat.
2. Add the 1/3 cup onion and saute for two minutes.
3. Add the 1/2 cup carrot and saute for three minutes.
4. Add the 3 cups rice and continue to stir. Cook the rice for about three minutes. 
5. Add the 3 Tbsp soy sauce over the rice and stir. Cook for 1 minute while stirring.
6. Move the rice and vegetables over to the side. 
7. Add the 2 eggs and stir constantly until lightly scrambled.
8. Stir the rice into the egg to distribute the egg throughout the rice.
