Vietnam Fried Rice
This is not my recipe…its my sister Dianne’s. But like a lot of my life I copied it from her. :)
It’s purpose is to save your day by being:
- delicious,
- easy,
- fast,
- economical,
- made with things you have on hand,
- a one-dish meal,
- able to feed a crowd
- and healthful. (you can use brown rice, less oil and more veggies, or SUPERveggies, to make it ever so much more so.)
Ingredients:
Flexible Amount of Either: chicken, beef (leftover diced steak, ground sirloin, chopped up hot dogs) ham, shrimp, or no meat at all. (you could even add egg if that’s your thing, but I like fried rice at home because it doesn’t have eggs in it!!)
3 cups cooked rice
3 cloves chopped garlic
1 finely chopped onion
1 tsp each: salt, pepper, sugar
3 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 bag frozen veggies or 2 cups fresh uncooked ~ I have used mixed, baby broccoli, peas and carrots, cut green beans, 1/2″ pieces of asparagus, chopped fresh spinach, etc. What’s in your fridge or freezer, or what goes down the hatch, or what you are working on making appealing are good places to start
Method:
Stir fry onion and garlic in oil, add meat and cook until done or heated through. Add salt, pepper, sugar, and soy sauce. Then add rice and stir to ditribute seasonings evenly throughout. Add veggies last, and serve immediately when they are heated through or to desired doneness. Enjoy!
